Time
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
Time is the distance between here and there, in other words the space in between. It is the ammount a person can age in a day, or it is the day itself. Whenever the sun changes position, an incriment of time has passed.
People judge time by the position of the sun, the hands of a clock, or the glowing liquid crystal display of their digital watch. Time is not relative, but everyone has their own opinion as to what time it is. Time is very important to people, but once it is used, it can never be taken back. And there is always a steady flow of time, which scientists have forever been trying to control and stop.
Many people run their lives by time, and never stop to see what a life they are missing. Time can be the enemy when a person is late for the third time in a row and a person who must have recieved his or her drivers' license from a cracker jack box is hogging the road. It can be the enemy when the alarm wakes a person from blissful sleep in the morning, and forces him or her to realize reality once again. Time is a friend when the anxious students stare down the clock counting the seconds before the end of the school day, or even the busy worker who desires to be anywhere but the little box he lives in called a cubicle or work station.
Time cannot really be defined, it can only be spent or looked forward to or even remembered fondly. It exists and that is all there is to it.
