I heard a very interesting fact in one of my classes day on the subject of language and perception. In the English language, when we talk about time, we look forward to the future and look back at the past. We face towards the future in our horizontal language. But in many other languages, when referring to time, the past is looked at face forward since we already know the past while our backs are turned to the future because it is still unknown. Just something that I found very intriguing.
