from the mind of critic-9/14/17

From the mind of critic: “When a fellow human traveler bumps into us on the street and asks us what time it is, is it because they don’t know, or because they do know, but want our opinion? Can we deduce the time without a clock or watch, but by whichever way the wind blows? Even if we get to a point where we know exactly and without a doubt what time it is, does human evolution require us to constantly check the time, because time was designed to keep rolling? One of the challenges of growing up on planet earth, is knowing that time is alway moving. We can’t stop it or slow it, we can only roll with it, or get left behind. Once we realize that time is always progressing, whether it’s man made numbers, or the constantly shifting sands of the prevailing wisdom, we’ll see that time not only changes from moment to moment, but also from culture to culture, government to government and person to person. If everybody has a different opinion of what time it is, how will we ever tell the time? Looking for “the time” is like chasing the dragon, we’ll never catch it because it doesn’t exist. Isn’t our time better spent finding something that does exist like, “our time”? If we don’t know “our time”, how could we ever tell somebody “their time”, that’s the real question we should be asking.” 🙂
