Down with superstition Up with Superposition - What time is love?

The darkest hour is just before the dawn

Meaning

There is hope, even in the worst of circumstances.

Origin

This is one of those improving proverbs that are the stock in trade of the contemporary glut of self-help manuals and talking therapies. The darkest hour has long been used figuratively to mean 'the lowest ebb' and there are many such examples of it in print dating from the late 1700s.

The English theologian and historian Thomas Fuller appears to be the first person to commit the notion that 'the darkest hour is just before the dawn' to print. His religious travelogue A Pisgah-Sight Of Palestine And The Confines Thereof, 1650, contains this view:

It is always darkest just before the Day dawneth.

The source of the proverb isn't known. It may be Fuller himself, or he may have been recording a piece of folk wisdom. In 1858, much later than Fuller of course, Samuel Lover attributed the notion to the Irish, in Songs and Ballads:

There is a beautiful saying amongst the Irish peasantry to inspire hope under adverse circumstances:- "Remember," they say, "that the darkest hour of all. is the hour before day."

Quantum superposition is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics. It holds that a physical system -- such as an electron -- exists partly in all its particular, theoretically possible states (or, configuration of its properties) simultaneously; but, when measured, it gives a result corresponding to only one of the possible configurations (as described in interpretation of quantum mechanics).

Being in every place at once and yet one at a time...  Time is a limiting factor, so when time stops being an issue, in other words when we are no longer measuring things using time, or when time is no longer a factor... There will be no limit...

You have to make up your mind in order to choose a state to be in...

Don't make up your mind, allow yourself to have the freedom to choose from one moment to the next.

Time therefore wil no longer be an issue...

Time will cease.  We will not.

Stop the clocks.

Start the life.

P.S. I wasn't going to go into this as commenting and telling it as it was as it were, given that I can't write this as it happens, I can only write about things that have already been, have already occurred, and in that way only go on about  the past...  The last night, yesterday evening, I just wanted to go to sleep and never wake up again, or close my eyes and never open them, the reason being that I am haunted by things I've done, things I thought I'd reconciled, forgiven myself for, decided weren't mine, weren't me, weren't my fault, weren't to be gone over and over anymore, they've come back, now again I have to reconcile, work out how to look at them again, had been forgiven, had forgiven myself, now I just wonder again. go over them again. clearly see the same ways in which they may or may not have lead to something else, may or may not have been my fault, may or may not be something I still should deal with, may or may not become an issue, may or may not have something to say, may or may not be something I should reveal, I know I can't I know I shant, I won't, I can't, I won't, I must not,I didn't, it wasn't me, it was my pain,it was my illness, it was not my choice, it was not the person I feel I am who did it, I will pay,I have paid, I will sacrifice,I have sacrificed my own life already for those deeds, I will give of myself,I have given up time and time again, I will do whatever, I am doing the best I can, learning to cope with the shame, let it go, delve deeper, realise, feel, express, access the emotional pain, express, access the feeling inside, access the numbness I thought I deserved, stop punishing myself, knowing this is all a facade, I have paid, I have pained, I live with it, I'll die with it, I will know when it's all over, I am working it off, finally my dues, dealing with the memories, dealing with did I, was it me, do I deserve to ever be happy, isn't this all just a trap a way to make me suffer?

Yes until I can suffer no more and learn to love

Until I can learn to let go

Surrender my pain

Suffer no more child of the earth, man of the earth
Suffer no more child of the starry heavens, man of the starry heavens suffer suffer suffer no more

Surrender

Answer the question... Who am I?

I am who?

and you are?

Me too...

Unless or until we forgive each other there's no end in sight...

Forgive those who trespass against us as we trespassed against them

We've all been here and done that, and some have the t-shirts to prove it

I've got the lot
