Perspective over time is often tantamount to maturity of one's worldview, or possibly, simply the aging of the person and their soul, their copula, their very being. Perspective is a curious measure or analysis, as it ages with the individual. Time is the big issue. Time changes perspective. It erases some scars, and lessens others as it elapses.
Time marches on.
I ask them to repeat that. Manmade or not, it exists. It is just there. Or, to put it another way, life goes on. The passage of time, the measurements of such passage, and the events which serve as markers or calibrations of measurement seem to be speeding up.
