Structural Gap

by Gacina Bozidar


She never loved sport but her love for ice-skating was sure. And she would like to see 2.000 miles ice-skating track. This would lead her to the best sportsmanship if it is not 'sportswomanship' She thought that some kind of action will prevent her to get old. She thought that 2.000 miles ice-skating track will make her younger for 2.000 minutes when she reaches the very end of this track. And in the worst case she will feel so younger. In this way any speed travel or speed movement will make the person younger and it is not humour. Okay but if you like this logic then everything is possible and you can argue that the person from 18th century is now watching the rescue operations in New Orleans at his 250th year as this would be 250 years old man or woman. If it is possible to get younger by driving Formula One and even just traveling in plane you can say anything else. Someone who lived at the time of Christ resurrection is now old as much time from this resurrection and if it is like this, Christ is old 2005 years and he is aware about all TV channels at his 2005th year but in the human cultural chronology the TV was invented only when it was invented. But this girl who loved ice-skating gave the lesson to all the world about this kind of thinking which we call simply 'Everything is possible' There is structural gap in the existence. Simply, whoever lived before the invention of TV and whoever died before some invention never could see it. But we summarize everything and collect everything for the benefit of one instant wealth. As the photo of the chocolate from the publicity. But whoever lived before he lived before. This is structural gap who is avoided in representations or in the case of representing the very moment. 'Now forever' And the best student always repeat 'Everything is possible' and there is structural gap in the universe. That is why religion exists to unite all the vanities of history but not to unite the people in the segregated groups. It is for human vanity that faith exists but the basic human vanity what was said before that You must live when you live regardless to television. And you pray for your missed time. You don't pray for sectarian interests. Faith is transcendental. Faith is not political.
