How Long Is Eternity?

"You do not see in time nor move in time nor rest in time." (321)

This is one of the hardest concepts for me that I continue to try to grasp, but never can. It is not possible for our human minds to understand the concept of God's existence before time and his continuing existence after time. Perhaps this is because of our outrageous obsession with time. There are so many people in our culture who would have a complete breakdown if something were to happen to their planner that has all of their activities planned out to the minute; we also have lost respect for others, such as when a scheduled class time is over and students end up packing up, even if the teacher is still talking. In our society, we take any chance we have to 'save time,' by doing things such as eating breakfast while driving to school/work, or multitasking at as many things as possible. This time obsession of ours makes it impossible for us to be able to conceive anything that does not include time. It's interesting how we are so consumed with our time and how we spend it when we know that there is infinite time.
