Why holding a cyclical view of time may make someone think the worst about the future
The first question we want to ask is what is a cyclical view of time?
A cyclical view of time is when someone believes that the world has always been here, and the cycle is chaos and then order comes out of the chaos. But then the order falls back into the chaos and all is lost. Then the cycle continues.
I think that if people believe this view, they think that all efforts will be lost when the order falls back into the chaos. Then the think “Why should I even try if all my efforts will be lost?” and then they do nothing to improve the world.
If everyone held a cyclical view of time, we would not have anything we have now. there would be no inventions because no one would think it worth their efforts.
I, on the other hand, believe that there was a creation made by God, and that the earth is forever. The Bible says, “Moreover I will establish his kingdom forever, if he is steadfast to observe My commandments and My judgements as it is to this day.” (1 Chronicles; 28; 7)
