This text examines the ontological perception of time and the processual nature of events. It addresses a fundamental paradox: we often view the earliest phases of a process as its oldest simply because they occurred long ago, failing to realize they represent the event in its youngest state. Conversely, our current or final stage is actually the newest manifestation of the process, despite being its oldest in terms of duration. The author argues that understanding time requires moving beyond the subjective observer’s perspective to grasp the objective momentum of becoming. An event unfolds by transitioning from non-existence into actuality and then into the past. Consequently, as we age, we distance ourselves from our youth, making our older selves the most recent version of our being. This confusion stems from our inherent drive toward the future through initiative. While preserving what already exists is necessary, it is secondary to the forward-looking activity that defines our engagement with the flow of existence and the event-like nature of reality.
