Impact

When something encounters and comes in contact with something else,
we say they are touching.

When something comes in contact with something else while in motion,
we call this a collision.

When there is a collision, the force that the objects exert on each other
is called the impact.

The word impact can be used in many ways.
It can be used in the literal sense of the word,
where a physical object hits another physical object.

It can be used to describe an effect that an action or reality has on a person's emotions.
When something dear to us is gone, our emotions are greatly influenced.

It can be used to describe the effect a metaphysical concept has on people.
Love is a conceptual sledgehammer that blind sides its victims.

It can be used to describe the relationships between metaphysical concepts.
Joy and sorrow together often create turmoil.

It can be used to describe the effect a mass action of a large group of people has on their surroundings.
When a group of people all decide to carry out a singular action simultaneously, the impact on the physical, metaphysical, and human objects nearby is hurled into a state of chaos.

What if a metaphysical concept collides with a physical object, which then has an effect on your emotions, which causes you to have an impact on a massive group of people, whos' emotions create a collective force on a metaphysical concept, which strikes another metaphysical concept, which makes you extremely happy?

Or a physical object has an impact on your physical being, causing your emotions to be impacted, which creates metaphysical concepts within you that conflict with other previously existing metaohysical concepts? When their fists stop swinging, your favorite soup probably won't taste very good to you any more.

Our world is based off of the effect impacts between things have on each other.
If there were no impacts, the world would be a very boring place.

While some impacts may not seem beneficial to you at times, they will always lead to more impacts that will benefit you in the future.

That future will have an impact on the more distant future.
But if that future didn't exist, wouldn't that reality of a nonexistent future have an impact on your present?
Therefore, doesn't the future's existence also have an impact on your present?
And since the past used to be the present, and the present used to be the future, doesn't that mean that the future also had an impact on your past?
Something that has not happened yet has impacted something that happened many years ago.

Therefore, time does not exist.
