Time is a funny thing. When have a lot of it, you are able to feel carefree of how you spend it. When you're short on time, it feels like every second counts. I find it interesting that culture to culture views on time is different. Some areas of the world time doesn't really matter, if you're late no one cares. In America, time is a commodity. Something that's worth money, something that can be wasted or used. Lately I've been viewing time as a commodity, but I wish I was able to live relatively carefree in my own sense of time. However, life requires money and money requires a job and a job requires an education. This all reminds me of a lyric in a Muse song:
"Don't waste you're time, or time will waste you."

Yes, time and how we perceive time is an interesting concept. C.S. Lewis wrote somewhere that he believed we must be immortal beings, that we must belong to a place that has no time because we are so uncomfortable in time, because we feel it passing, because we are anxious about it. He thought that because we are not comfortable in it, we don't really belong to it. Interesting.
Hope you're having a good weekend,
