Do you need time?
We are needy creatures and need all the time. So I like a period ,not the female monthly kind, but the “full stop”. Which I believe in North American English is called a period. We all need periods and knowing when to stop is good for you.

Do you need time?
Time waits for no man( or woman) is one of my favourite sayings. A vision of a timely schoolteacher with a clipboard in hand regarding his errant pupils with despair as the clock reaches the time when the classes will start comes to mind.
Tempus Fugit is a Latin phrase translated to English as “Time Flies”.Apparently there are loads of gravestones around the World who have engraved on them an egg timer with wings. Talk about rubbing the fact in that time has run out.Strewth.
Finally,time is ethereal and possibly unfairly blamed or defined by humanity. While writing this piece my time has passed enjoyably and I like to think productively . Yet some would regard me as wasting time.The laugh is on them.
Time doesn’t wait, but at the same time, time in itself is of value in that it measures a period. The user of the time determines what happens within that time period. Thus we need time as a measure,but our use of time should not be defined purely in terms of use to others ,but also more importantly to ourselves.
If we feel our time is useful and we enjoy measuring it,why not? In reality external forces to us do the measuring and it is up to us to decide if we value that measure or the actual time. So we do need time,but I’m not so sure about the measure.
Namaste.
