is there anyone else out that feels time is just a made up thing? Like time.. we have time- it is real-
I know i just contradicted myself. Sorry for that.

I guess mean: the perception of time..... I dont know how to really explain my thoughts on it. I am, like on most subjects, mixed on my thoughts on this.

Logically in this reality time is essential and we only have so much of it before it "runs out" and "it's too late"..... and it is very important
(part of me thinks this good structure to base things on)

On the other side- does it even matter what time is? I am a floating leaf in a river and time is not important.
(Part of me thinks what a waste- another part of me thinks how lovely!)

Time... I can look in my past, I am the present, and I envision the future that may or may not be.

Time is great though... I do not like though that society feels as if we need to "waste time" on obtaining a little green piece of paper or currency for what ever country you may be in. (money is another imaginary thing I sometimes think but that is another story i guess. or no it could be linked but i will stick with time)

Don't get me wrong- working is great- but what are the majority for us working for?
In my case I work in a place that my position is low and is really is just making some CEO big bucks that is at the top .. which is sad. and a waste

Work I can perceive as well as "Work on Me" as i like to call it from time to time, Working on me is always beneficial I do not see as waste (well i say now but sometimes i do see it as waste on second thought- so majority of the time i do not see it as a waste) (this Even if i never make it to therapy).

Work I can perceive as "growing" my Boyfriend and I grow together in more than just age but our minds as well and bettering our selves.

Time- what an odd thing

My silly ramble for today

If that doesn't make your head spin, consider that in physics, motion alters time; in psychology, different stimuli alter our perception of time; and in philosophy, there's disagreement on whether time is even real. "In terms of our inner lives, no time exists except for what is happening in the present moment," says Joan Halifax Roshi, a Zen Buddhist teacher.

Fourteen experts give their views on time. One says:
For all the spiritual and scientific explanations of time, sometimes we just need a little practical help dealing with that alarm clock, flight schedule or calendar. And that's where time management experts have built business empires doling out advice.

David Allen is one of them. He's a productivity consultant and bestselling author of Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity. "'Time management' is a foolish idea," he says. "You don't manage time. Have you ever mismanaged five minutes and come up with six? Or four-and-a-half? Time just is. Our actions are what we manage, during time."

thankyou Thebyzantine!
I like that article

The earth spin effecting time is always interesting too! One time I watched a show about ''if the world stopped spinning'' and that was crazy with what would happen to ''time''

I will have to re read it and pick out some things to ponder on
