TOKYO REFLECTIONS: A Discussion about Temporal Awareness

IMAGE: A Japanese university student dissolving into nothingness. 

Bhäraté:  Sometimes during magical moments we can step outside of time.

An-Yi:    That's merely an illusion. Time flows regardless of how we step.

Chariya:  (smiling slightly) Actually, that's only partly true: all time 
　　　　　　is subjective. And it flows differently for different beings.

Daiki:    (shrugging his shoulders) Whatever. . . . do our opinions really matter?

Bhäraté:  No, but our consciousness does.
