Time

Imagine if we stopped measuring time if we stopped portioning it off into seconds minutes hours days months years decades centuries if we stopped recording and celebrating the passage of time constantly reminding ourselves of how much we’ve used up of how much we have left as we tally up the time that we’ve had and that tally becomes ever larger we cannot help but give some thought to what century, decade, year, month day, hour, second our time will run out imagine if we did none of it and our only reference to time was day-time and night-time what if we gave absolutely no consideration imparted no meaning whatsoever to the hour of the day the day of the week the week of the month the month of the year the year of the decade the decade of the century what if there was just day time and night time time awake and time asleep would we then perhaps make better use of it.
