Response to Blog- Time
This is a response to Ben Hollows blog in which he asks, is the flow of time merely subjective. I think the flow of time is subjective and depends on whether you believe in time first of all. However, then it gets tricky because we are all caught in the flow of time everyday. When we are doing work, doing something we enjoy and going through the motions of life we are all caught in the current of time. It is when we become aware that we are in time and look at the clock that the flow is broken. I think the flow of time is related to the saying, "Time flies when you are having fun." There are days when I am cleaning my room, doing homework, and having fun when the day seems to have come to an end just as quickly as it began. This is most evident when I go on vacation and I am in the airport on my way back from vacation. You spend a lifetime waiting for the day you leave, and you pack, you go through the motions and before you know it your vacation is done. The flow of time can be said to be subjective because there are people who go through their whole day looking at a clock with routine activities that they have to do each hour. What I mean to say, it is like a person who says OK I am going to wake up everyday at 6 am, make my bed at 6:01 brush my teeth at 6:05 go downstairs at 6:10, turn on coffee at 6:11 etc. A person who lives like that can said to be living out of time and therefore do not know the flow that many people feel as it relates to time. I don't know about anyone else, but I think the flow of time is a wave of time when it comes to sleeping at night. There are nights that I feel like I have just put my head on my pillow and the next thing I know my alarm is going off! The flow of time is subjective as to how we live our life and as to how in-tuned with time we are. With that said,what would a world without time be like in your opinion? What would a timeless world really be?
