“In general relativity, an event horizon is a boundary in spacetime, most often an area surrounding a black hole, beyond which events cannot affect an outside observer. Light emitted from beyond the horizon can never reach the observer, and any object that approaches the horizon from the observers side appears to slow down and never quite pass through the horizon, with its image becoming more and more redshifted as time elapses. The travelling object, however, experiences no strange effects and does, in fact, pass through the horizon in a finite amount of proper time.” –Wikipedia . Event Horizon . As individuals we build personae, complex and byzantine, for others to peruse. Adjustments, both minor and major, occur regularly as our image of self, and our perceived life objectives change and develop. . As we age, the logarithmic acceleration of time is frightening, and we become less concerned with how others perceive us. We seek solace, in religion, in medication, in self-pity, or in a manic rush of “look-at-me-I’m-still-the-same” activity that denies the increasing and relentless pull of our own, and very personal, Event Horizon. . ~James D.
