The meaning of time

Kolby 2022-07-26 18:59:49

I accidentally watched one of the Star Trek movies, followed by other series, and lingering in my mind is the 7th Star Trek. Why, because there is a paradise that people yearn for: Shihui.

The so-called Shihui is a special place where time has no meaning. You can go back to any place in time. Therefore, the people in the play describe it as being surrounded by joy and do not want to leave. Don't want to leave, that's because you can go to the scene you want most.

A captain without a family, surrounded by wives and children in Shihui, enjoys family happiness; another captain can return to the place where he reunited with his wife and make up for the regrets of the year-----but all, all It's not true, since it's not true, it's like a dream.

In a dream, you can construct many people and things as if they are real, but you can't be immersed in them forever, and the time in the play is a beautiful dream that you don't have to wake up forever if you don't want to wake up.

Where is such a place? Will it remind people of the heaven after death, maybe it is the same there, but you want to leave but you can't live without it. But if it is so beautiful, people really don't have to fear death. Death is the only way in life.

It is mentioned in the play that Daxian is like a predator, waiting for an opportunity to eat, and it is inevitable that people will die. But the captain is right, death defines the meaning of life. Yes, there is no place like Shihui, and time can't go back or cross, so time is so important to everyone.

As for how to cherish time, cherish life, and cherish everything, everyone has their own answer.

Star Trek: Generations quotes

  • Picard: Guinan, can I leave the Nexus?

    Guinan: Where would you go?

    Picard: I don't understand.

    Guinan: Well, as I said, time has no meaning here. So if you leave, you can go anywhere, any time.

    Picard: All right, I know exactly where I want to go. To the mountaintop on Veridian III just before Soran destroyed the star. I have to stop him, but I need help. Now, if you were to come back with me, together...

    Guinan: I can't leave. I'm there already, remember? But I bet I know someone who can. And from his point of view, he just got here, too.

    Picard: [cut to him approaching a cabin in the woods and seeing someone chopping wood] Kirk. James T. Kirk.

  • Kirk: Come on in. It's all right; it's my house. At least it used to be. I sold it years ago.

    Picard: I'm Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship... Enterprise.

    Kirk: The clock.

    [going to a clock on a mantelpiece]

    Kirk: I gave this clock to Bones.

    Picard: I'm from what you would consider the future, the 24th century.

    Kirk: [hearing a bark and seeing a dog in the doorway] Butler!

    [petting him]

    Kirk: Butler. How can you be here? He's been dead seven years.

    Antonia: [off-screen] Come on, Jim. I'm starving. How long are you gonna be rattling around in that kitchen?

    Kirk: Antonia. What are you talking about? The future? This is the past. This is nine years ago.

    [opening a box and taking out a gold horseshoe]

    Kirk: The day I told her I was going back to Starfleet.

    [going to the kitchen]

    Kirk: These are Ktarian eggs, her favorite. I was preparing them to soften the blow.

    Picard: I know how real this must seem to you, but it's not. This isn't really your house. We are, both of us, caught up in some kind of temporal nexus.

    Kirk: [cracking the eggs into a skillet] Dill.

    Picard: I beg your pardon?

    Kirk: Dill weed. In the cabinet, second shelf to the left. Behind the oregano.
