We know that time exists, at least for us, here, within our awareness, unless you are one of those who deem time as an illusion. However, even if time did not exist, one could watch a speck of dust fall and measure that interval and perceive it as time but its existence is not the point. Time is like a commodity which we use, trade and measure. We can spend time, waste time, bide time, utilize time, consume time and even do time, among the numerous applications of time. Aside from the chronological measurement of time we also have the quality of time where something can happen at the right or wrong time or you could have the time of your life, what the Greeks called Kairos. Then there is space time, time dilation, quantized time, relativistic and Newtonian time etc. Time is something we tend to view as acquiring in the form of accumulated time, as in I have a lot of time right now. Personally I haven't had much time lately and haven't been able to respond to many reply posts, so I think now might be the right time to apologize to some of you, I guess you could say, in a timely manner. Ordinarily I try to avoid time as much as possible and only get caught up in it when interacting with someone else who lives by time, which is as of late in a coordinated project. I rarely know what time it is and if asked what time I want something done I usually reply, "whatever time is good for you". Because I have mostly freed myself of time constraints, I can sleep till I'm no longer tired, eat when I'm hungry and simply beat my own drum. This is not easy within a society that operates on global synchronicity. One could measure the durability of something simply by observing the outcome through the test of time. I don't really find much that stands the test of time these days but ultimately the earth and all its wonder certainly has, and sometimes love. The question is, do we really need time? Could we live without it? This is something that has been the subject of many philosophical discussions since, should I say?, the beginning of time. If time has a beginning shouldn't it have an end? I guess it does because we seem to confine ourselves within time segments and set forth various rules of time management, living by the clock, not just within a day but for some, every second, perhaps every millisecond counts. Oops, I'm running out of time! lol
So does time matter for you? How much are you affected by time? Please take time to answer, if you have the time and if you don't then just make time. At least give me the time of day! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
