It catches everyone

It is 6 months today until I am 23...

TIME

We are all getting older so they say. Every second that goes by, is a second closer to death. Haha, bit of a morbid start, but it's true...isn't it? We are dead already are we not? Or we are at least not real anyway, so we are in fact not alive, and not dead. Can we be both? Can we be neither? Is there really such a thing as time anyway, and does it actually exist?

Please, somebody give me a decent definition of time. How did "time" come about? Who decided that that it takes a day to rotate around the sun. Who decided that there were going to be hours? And who decided that there are 24 of them? Who came up with the idea of weeks, and said we'd have 52 in a year, and then what is a year, and a decade and so on and so forth. My last question (for this little list) is time really what we think it is?

everything we do is timed. Every time we talk about something we talk about it with reference to time. I went swimming last week, I'm going to walk the dog later, my 10-year-plan. So you see, time is a construct of everything, everyday.

The only think that makes a day a day, and a night a night is the fact that it's light or dark. Now if it's a cloudy dull day, and it's not very light, then does time run the same way as it always does? Do we operate on different frequencies? Do we always operate on different frequencies? How about sometimes? Maybe never? Who really knows?

The thing that really gets me with time, is the fact that you have days where it seems to go fast, and days where it seems to go ultra slow. And the reason I ask about the different frequencies is because when you are asleep you can have a dream that lasts for seemingly many days, and yet when you wake up it's been a matter of hours.

Do we all experience this given time in the same way? And can time be manipulated? I put it to you that it can. Ponder on it a couple of days while I think up and argument for it.
