Time

Time... time waits for no man. You will learn this lesson again and again and again, until the very time will resonate within you... words like death, decay and destruction; but also change, revolution and flow. Most painful for human being is the lack of understanding of the time. Our minds tend to wander, seek places inside it. But time isn't the same as space. Space is something we can go through, search for new locations along the axes of our three dimensions. But time tends to go one dimensionally. And we can't do anything about it. It is the lack of control that scares anyone.
Maybe that's why was written so many fictions about time traveling. We want to be masters of our fate, not just pawns in the chess game we can not even conceive. Many philosophers and scientists contemplated about the real substance of the time, some of them deemed it fictional construct of human mind, others the physical constant entangled in many interesting and hypothetical phenomena.
What matters for the average Joe is the fact, that time exists - construct or not. We use it as a guide and our tendency to compare everything to time brings many issues out of the background to the plain sight. Mortality of human beings. My future. Future of the world. The end of the world. All those themes are so strong that they strike a spark of doubt even in the most stable persons.
I think that the solution lies in the fact that we must free our minds of this time dependent paradigm and live life in its purest and simple moment. At any rate that is really the only thing we can do.
