The philosophers have long argued-as philosophers are known to do- about what time and what it is not. To some it's one of the fundamental building blocks of our entire universe, and along with stuff like distance, velocity, etcetera can be used as an example that other things exist or are parts of each other. In explaining how time "works" this brand of logician also tosses out the comforting sequential nature of time and how everything flows through it as though were some sort of train station. To another group time is simply an idea that people use to compare or arrange things that happen to them, around them, or near them. Time cant really be measured or traveled through, they say, because it is an intellectual construct- a figment of our imagination- that we use in an attempt to understand what we cannot.
the scientist, on the other hand, set out to prove that by measuring the movement od the sun across the sky the passage of time can be gauged accurately enough for government work. and praise them for that because is the rest of us were left to our freestylin devices time would be base on how long the line is at the DMV or how quickly we eat a hot dog.
Anyways this taking all too long.
Time is money, friends. And we get to spend it however we please. Meeting people , Traveling to the coast, visit friends and family. Getting nowhere is the opposite side of the coin for much of each hour, day, week, month, year, life. Anytime you can just kind of tip the hourglass on its side, foul up the flow of things, not like its a philosophy or science, but its like winning the lottery, then you can count time along with all of your other blessings. Let the rest of them worry about the debits and credits.
Time is yours.
Wrinkle it, steal it, ignore it, and give it away just never give it up.
