[miles] Time

What importance does a clock hold? Answer lies in importance of time or should I say, passage of time. What does it matter what minute of hour, what hour of day, what day of month, what month of year or what year it is? What are we trying to achieve by measuring time in the end?

Common answer is simple. We are trying to quantify it. It helps us schedule our time, it helps in co-ordination.

When I look at the clock, I wonder whether it is the only thing we are trying to achieve. Clock tells us that time is passing. An information, a warning or an assurance, many ways to interpret that. A warning in the sense that it tells us to stop wasting our time. An assurance in the sense that whatever you are going through is going to pass, no matter how hard a time you are having.

Our mind keeps a clock of its own. It has the capacity to make us live any moment of our past or our probable future for as long as it desires (unless you control it, ofc 😉 ). One importance of analytical time is that it ensures us that time is passing, so that we do not go insane by getting trapped into our mind-clock.

I am not exactly sure what I wanted to say in this article. You may unsub on your way out.
