Eternalizing the Moment (ETM) is a distorted relationship with time. This mindset perceives a momentary slice of time and responds as if it is going to last forever. People gripped in this relationship to time are indicative of anxious repetitive personality profiles (ARPPs). Such persons are completely oblivious to the dynamics of time as everchanging. The idea of giving a situation some time to change has never crossed their minds or lips.
ETM may be observed in relationship dialogue with such phrases as “you always” or “you never.” In self-chatter it is expressed as “I am never” or “how come I always.” Such language cues are the primary means of recognizing ETM.
A kink in any personal or professional relationship with others or oneself can become the fodder for ETM. As extraordinary as it is, just one single relationship snag can become the impetus for a situation that knows no bounds of time. The result is endless hours of nauseatingly dull conversation on the scenario triggering ETM. There is no human trait that is responsible for more boring, repetitive, anxiety-filled conversation than a person riffing in the grip of ETM.
A tightly closed mouth and walk in the splendour of nature is a wonderful tonic for ETM. The sweet revivification of nature helps to restore the time distortion of those suffering from ETM. The everchanging natural world snaps the rigid mindset of ETM back to the natural fluidity of time.
A lot of ignoramus and evil consequences arise from eternalizing the moment. Petty arguments to the most hideous of evil acts are bound by ETM. Unfortunately, humans all over the world wrestle with time, resulting in ETM. To keep a right relationship with time one only needs to get outside and remember this simple phrase: THIS TOO SHALL PASS.
