what is time attracted too?

Time moves forward, therefore I'd assume it is attracted to the past.
Perhaps this is why humans are so dependant on past events. They learn how to handle themselves from past events, and their past is crucial to their being and intellect. The past is held within their memories.
The past is also recorded by humans, called history. They are sent off to school to learn about this 'past' of the world.
Then, most importantly, people say history repeats itself. The forward motion of time always falls back on a similar event.
As humans, we're always subjected to the seconds ticking away on the clock. We move forward in time, yet at the same time, we focus on the past.

According to Taoist and Zen thinking, the concept of time cannot exist without "not-time" also existing. "Not time" might also be called "now" or the "present." Is time attracted to not time? Perhaps it is more accurate to say that time arises from not-time; maybe we impose the construct of attraction on each. In other words, once we think of time, our thoughts are naturally also drawn to "not-time" (now, no passage of time), and vice-versa.
I like the question. It brings up one for me: Do opposites really attract?

That's a really good question. You're a philosophical person, aren't you? hehehe, well, that's a pretty hard question actually. I agree, it would probably endings since Time never stops, unless you get sucked into a black hole (because then time literally stops, like if you could see the person going into the black hole, it would be instantaneous while if you were that person going in it, you would never get there. yeah, it didn't make sense to me when my teacher told me that...) By the way, I tend to ramble, so I'll just stop! lol... :)
Oh, wait I know what it is! Its emit!

Anti-time! It was in the series finale of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Destroyed all life in this half of the galaxy, it did.
