Where Does Time go?
So, where does time go? Is it a commodity? We can spend it and waste it as if it were currency. We can put it into something, we can take it to do something. We can watch it or ignore it. On its own it can fly or crawl. Does that mean it is a living thing?
Time is an interesting concept. Man made so they tell us and yet we are slaves to our creation.
How many clocks are in your home? Your office? How many watches do you own? How many electronic devices also include timekeeping of some sort? And that's another thing "time keeping" we've created devices that "keep" time. Some do it well and down to the last nanosecond, some not so well (sundials for example aren't too precise).
Why do we pay so much attention to time? Why is is so important? Why are we so worried about running out of it?
i know I am feeling a bit of pressure at this point in my life. Not because I am afraid to die eventually but that I have SO much I want to be able to do first, so much to learn, to see and experience.
Being limited by funding is annoying enough but being limited by that other construct of humanity - time - is downright infuriating. Because after all, if I didn't have to spend so much time working to earn the funding necessary in our society to keep a roof over my head etc. I'd actually have the time to do the other stuff I really want to do.
So when time "gets away" from us.... where does it go?
