Time and It's Relevance

Time. We are surrounded by time. Watches, clocks, timers, count down, count up, counting seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, decades, centuries. Time never stops, never waits, never pauses, never reminisces. You have this much time to be a baby, toddler, teenager, adult, elder. Birthday's fly by, we want time to go by faster so we can be older, or to go slower so we can stay younger. We wish we could go back or jump forward. The constant ticking never stops. Clocks are everywhere, counting, in our cars, on our walls, on our phones, in our minds. We have even made different time zones, ways to count time, and ways to keep time. You never relive the same second, minute, day. We may remember, but we never get another chance to do something different in that one second. What has passed stays in the past. We live off of time. Mother's: you better get out of that in 3, 2, 1. School: 7 hour day, start at 8:15 end at 3:15 each class gets 50 minutes, 5 minute passing periods Sleep: go to bed at 9pm wake up at 7am breakfast 7am-10am lunch 12pm-2pm dinner 5pm-8pm Traveling: "Sorry, your flight has been delayed 3hrs, the flight is 8hrs, the drive 3hrs, the walk 1hr Hobbies: 1hr and a half practices, games on this day at this time for this amount of time, overtime, halftime, quarters, thirds, this event starts at this time. counting down to the new year, new day, next class, next activity, next song. Waiting time and during time. We may say that we control it, but the reality is that it controls us. You don't have enough time to keep reading?? Glance at the clock, should i go to bed, do i have enough time to do this before i do? we are always counting... why are we always counting?
