The Trouble With Time

I used to be able to predict the future. Purely at random and with a wide margin of error, but usually i was right. The only times that i was ever wrong was when i never spoke of what i knew, so now I’m wondering if knowledge of the future is what decides our fate or if the future is cast in stone and we are tied to our fates much as Prometheus was tired to his rock after giving us humans the gift of fire.
I have found that while trying to change the future one always causes the future that they are trying to change to be the one that actually happens… but then not trying also will cause the future one saw to happen… Ok that sentence made even less sense on paper than it did in my head but really when talking about time how clear can one expect to be?
See we think of time as a linear progression of events, a to b to c and so on and so forth ad infinitum. but that is merely the way that we see time. Of course the other explanations of time seem a bit shit… the timey whimey ball that The Doctor talked about in “Blink” was a good one although that sentence got away from him. Of course time travel works best if time is a ball or a sphere or, perhaps, a torus. the only was time travel doesn’t work is a flat straight line… which would explain why we’ve never seen visitors from the future.
The trouble with time is that we never seem to have enough of it even though most often we boast of having all the time in the world, when, in all actuality, all we have is this second. Make the most of it.
