Time
Imagine your life without the measures of time. Can you think of a way to exist without using hours, mins, seconds etc? As humans we are dependent on time. We need time to live, to eat, to work etc. Without time we wouldn't be able to tell how long dinner should be in the oven for, how long it will take the police to get to a certain place, or how much we should get paid for every hour we work. I know the concept of time has been debated, but if we really think about it time isn't an illusion, it is the measurement of time that is an illusion; a much needed illusion. Also, I do not understand the argument that the past, present and future does not exist. Yes the past is no more but we know that yesterday did happened and the remnants of that day is em-brazened in our minds. Yes the future hasn't come yet, but we need to know that there is a potential future to actually be productive in the now. I understand the argument that the future isn't a fixed thing and is dependent on actions in the present and therefore the future is said to not exist, HOWEVER, I believe the future exists because for every action there is a reaction. Every action is guaranteed a consequence god or bad which will eventually happened and is therefore only potential in the present, but is sure to bring a future. I think the idea of time and the arguments about it should be cleared up. No matter what time is flowing, wehtehr we are active or keeping still, time is passing and we are getting older to the sure FUTURE of death, which is when time will cease for that particular individual. So my question is, how do you think we would get through everyday life without the existence of the measurements of time?
