Old Painting

Objects are neither old nor young. They are simply in a specific state relative to our own sense of time. A newborn kitten is very young by our reasoning, but the atoms comprising the kitten are billions of years old. Those particular atoms have coalesced in such a way that we say ‘kitten’ when we see its little fluffy self. But this kittendom that we experience is subject to the fact that kittens live roughly the same length of time as humans, and so we are able to experience its short life, which neither passes too quickly nor too slowly to be perceived meaningfully. Its temporary kitten-like state will eventually atrophy back into atoms and compounds that will be lingering about the universe for billions of years more, although traces may be around and perceptible for a long time. All of those particles may wrap themselves around life in the distant future. Our direct experience is limited to our own sense of time, which is both too fast and too slow to make direct experiences meaningful in regard to the totality of existence. We must use the experience and knowledge from others to assimilate any real meaning.
