Kunatsa parlaskta aymarata? sartati ma aymara markaru??

[adamthelover10]

hallo! I am an aymara man, my native language is Aymara i have learned English and other european languages in which i think im fluent. Well, thats right what you said our future is backwards, but when i speak english i totally have to shift things, way of thinking because it is very hard otherwise...you just learn how to see things in different or under different schemes. I am from a small village near Titikaka lake. Peace. :)))

Perhaps focusing on the past would help people to identify causal relationships between past action and current states. If we focus exclusively on the future, we might fail to see our mistakes and thereby repeat them endlessly. Of course, people who look to the past do not always see it objectively, so they (we) don't see those mistakes anyway. I am a big fan of the Whorfian Hypothesis.

Where are the Imara from? What present day country? I read a few years ago that the ancient Greeks had the same conception of time, facing the past, moving backwards into the future. Somewhere along the line it changed into our linear idea. I liked the clock striking right at NOW!

:) you can check out the links in the video description. they are in modern day bolivia, peru, chile & argentina, in the andes & altiplano regions of south america. (quote wikipedia) ...

I was having the same conversation last night , that is so weird when wonderful when that happens, you BTW have a fantastic mind, full of wonder and light , I am sure if we could see your aura it would be luminescent.

[kissedbykc]

awesome discovery.. =)

[stillsearchingstars]

maybe you're the "present" . . .

[brocollii]

This is really interesting...that our common concept of time is not something that's universal, but can be interpreted by different cultures differently.
