📚 September Book or otherwise Time – "The motionless arrow" by Elvio Fachinelli.

September is a month intertwined with new beginnings, new goals, new beginnings. For many it is the beginning of a new year. This sense of time, universally created, how differently it can work for everyone!

The stationary arrow. How paradoxical it sounds and it is based on a paradox. Zeno's Paradox. In the arrow paradox, Zeno asserts that for motion to occur, an object must change its position. Gives an example of an arrow in flight. It states that at any given time, the arrow is neither moving where it is nor where it is not. It cannot move to where it is not, because there is no intervening time for it to move there. It cannot move to where it is, because it is already there. In other words, at any given moment there is no movement. If everything is still at every moment, and time consists entirely of moments, then motion is impossible.

Time is indeed moments. How many times have we not stood still like the Eleatic philosopher's arrow, hoping for more time? A book without psychoanalytic terminology, but with a psychoanalytic atmosphere and structure, which revises, questions and certainly moves this immovable arrow even for a moment.
