Entry #8: Time

 Time

What has a beginning but no end, a start but no finish? 

Time. It's something that can't be stopped and it will keep going forever. Time can be both your best friend and your worst enemy. It can heal a broken bone or cure many illnesses with proper medicine but it might take a while it won't just happen instantly. Patience is a huge aspect of time, people need to learn to be patient when dealing with time because no one knows when things might happen. You can't go back in time to change something, after something has happened, there is no way you can change it, this may suck but it teaches you your mistakes so they won't happen again.

There are many ways you can see time or calculate it, one of the ways is by using a clock which If calculated correctly will give you the time of the day. A clock uses many gears and parts to make it properly work. Many philosophers can tell the time by just looking at the sun as it orbits the earth, one earth rotation signifies 24 hours of a day. This may be different depending on where you are located due to different time zones. This means that in Phoenix, Arizona it can be 1:00 pm but in Tokyo Japan, it is 5:00 am where most people are asleep. There are different ways to show time for example there are seconds, minutes, hours, days, years, etc. There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 365 days in a year, and 10 years in a decade.

Have you ever heard the expression "Time goes fast when you're having fun"? This is a crazy but true statement as time tends to go faster when you pay little to no attention to it but as you keep looking at the time it seems like it doesn't move at all making your day longer. That's why when I go to work I turn off all the clocks and try to keep myself busy so that time could go faster. In the Loki series on Disney+, they connect time with many dimensions or alternate universes on a time line. This shows us what time could be like in the future with the advancements in technology. Honestly, the concept of time is confusing and complicated for me as theirs a lot of things that can happen so I leave that to the professionals to figure out. 

Time is ultimately the one thing that never stops. It also can be different depending on what part of the planet you're on. It is impossible to go back and forth in time but maybe one day a Time Machine will exist, only time will tell.

  1. This was a super interesting post because you talked about something that’s always on everyone’s mind but no one really talks. Time is scary yet so precious at the same time.
