So, let's define "time" as something useful, like the number you get when you look at your clock. But then it makes no sense to ask if I am going fast or slow along the time axis, because **there is no other clock to compare your clock with it**. This is essentially what will introduce you to Special Relativity, when you compare clocks [and straight rulers] against other systems of measure that move - relatively to you - with constant [vector] speed. General Relativity [or GR] introduces relative motion with acceleration [and gravity].
