The Meaning of Time

Time can take on so many different meanings depending on one's present state of mentality or emotionality. It can be a threat to one who has a fast approaching deadline. It may be a barrier to someone who is awaiting the coming of a specific time or date. It may be a luxury to a student on vacation. It can even be a punishment for someone who has received a jail sentence. In this line of thought, time can mean an infinite number of things relative to the one who is experiencing the time. And now, a bit more conceptual but even more factual and possibly very relevant if applied, the relativity of time through space...or shall we say timespace. Time has been proven to be relative as applied at very high velocities. Space has been proven to bend and warp around bodies of great mass. While we earthlings for the most part are totally unaware of these naturally occurring phenomena. Not only are they phenomena but they are basic rules and structures that govern the way the universe which we exist in works. And not only do they govern how things work in this universe but they if can be understood and remembered could easily alter the meaning of time for an individual. Intstead of just being a way to know when to be at work or school or when to get the next train, time could be seen as a remarkably flexible, maleable and impressionable aspect of our experience.....given that we have a proper understanding of how it works and how we interact with it. The question is, do we have the time to come to such an understanding and would we be able to accept it if we did??
