week 3 post 3

An interesting concept that chapter four went over was about how we live in three dimensions of time. obviously, the first time that we all now is the present moment. But the chapter also explains that we also live in the present and the future. We live in the future because the knowledge of what we have done in the past effects what we intend on doing in the future. i thought this was an interesting concept because i have never thought about it like that before and it makes a lot of sense. The book further explains the importance of this concept and says that this is a keep factor in close relationships. It explains that shared expectations is a key factor in close relationships and things that have happened to us in the past set those expectations of how people will act in a relationship. Those who are closer will have the same kind of experiences and share the same expectations of how the other will act and how you will act.
