Most heart attacks occur on Mondays. Funny but tragic, isn’t it?
Time, as we know it, is nothing but fragmented eternity. This is nothing new, of course. It is extremely difficult - though possible - to imagine this life - the so called existence that we live day in and day out - without time, without our interpretation and attachment to it. It is obvious that our society needs some type of tool or mechanism with which we can give some chronological sense to what we do, how we do it and “when” we do it.
It is “time” and the passage of it that give us - biologically, culturally, emotionally and of course, socially - our sense of history and development both collectively and individually: it also provides us with a frame of reference against which we can draw observations and comparisons, trace roots and ancestry, discover unknown and amazing data about our evolutionary process, and establish links with the past, thereby giving meaning to the present and hope for the future. Listen to these very words you are now reading: I am already fragmenting reality, both yours and mine !!
In other words, time allows us to write our own story, His-story, Her-story, Our story.
