A THOUGHT FOR NOW - TIME IS INFINITE, YET HUMANS COMPLAIN OF NOT HAVING ENOUGH OF IT.

Humans travel through time and space as if they were a train, but relentlessly moving towards a 'salmonised' destination?

Time is infinite; so says the scientist, the astronomer and the ordinary human. Like space, there is no end to time, and yet do we complain that we do not have enough time. We do not have the time to do this and to do that, because we can only do a finite number of things at any given time. How many things we are able to do at any one time is dependent on the amount of concentration and focus we need to allocate to them, which is itself dependent on how complex are the tasks we are required to carry out or the processes we must complete in order to do so. 

It also depends on the experience, the knowledge, the skills and the wisdom which we are able to apply to the tasks before us, as the more of these we have, the less time and concentration we might be required to give to each task. As we can now do some of them automatically, whereas those with less of these attributes will be required to give each task more of their conscious attention.

And why are we humans so preoccupied with the timeless refrain of not having enough time? Could it be that it is really about what do we need the time to do? Is it to do the work we are required to do, that we want to do, or that we must do? Which then leads us to consider what this work is and why it has to do be done, to whose benefit is it, and when does it have to be done?

With 'modern' or technological human societies having become so sophisticated and highly organised, the 'individual' and the 'group' have become more self-alienated and more 'conditioned' into becoming and functioning in the perceived interests of 'societal construct or reality.' 

This could result in serious trauma for the individual who wakes up from this process of social conditioning, and finds that how he/she has been assimilated into the accepting and identifying with the social construct, is not how they would have wanted to live their lives. Probably that they would have preferred to have given more time to enjoying the journey, instead of focusing more on the destination, which is more about the ending of their time.

To be continued.
