Future, present and past
"Here", asked the first
rationally thinking person and pointed at the place where he was standing.
"Here," replied his companion. "There" by pointing in the
direction from which they had come. "There," came the prompt reply.
"There" by pointing in the direction to go. "There,"
repeated the other. They looked at each other and saw a difference between
one and the other "there".
It is difficult to retrace when
the recognition became noticeable that this was not just a spatial but also a
temporal difference. Then they began to tell each other about the past and
the future. At first, the memory was probably limited. Dead group members
were quickly forgotten. With inaccurate fractions of memory, they turned into
gods, then were immortal. However, for most individuals there was only birth
and death with life in between, generally only twenty to twenty-five summers
at the most.
