We have been conditioned to see the passing of time as an adversary.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The future is our greatest adversary. We are a very backward-looking society, and as such, we are continually blindsided by the future.
Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.
Time is a gift and a threat because we are bodily creatures. We only come into existence through the bodies of others, but that very body destines us to death. We must be born and we must die.
We're programmed to believe that time is the enemy, that it takes away from us or that it diminishes us. I have found that it's done the opposite to me. Life is in perfect balance. It's just that our perception of it isn't.
Time can be an enemy or a friend.
Time is change; we measure its passing by how much things alter.
Time is what prevents everything from happening at once.
Time passes irrevocably.
Time is still the great mystery to us. It is no more than a concept; we don't know if it even exists.
Time is not an absolute reality but an aspect of our consciousness.
