What Is Time?

Today my daughter questioned, "why there is never enough time" to do all the things in a day we want to do. She decided in the end not to fret over it, but just let it happen, whatever got done -great, if something didn't get done today there was always tomorrow.

I started thinking about time and its relevance in a day. We start each day based on what time we need to get up, what time do we eat breakfast, what time is coffee break, what time is dinner, what time, what time what time. Now I realize we need some sence of structured time to function reasonably in our crazy world, but why don't we let our bodies tell time for us. Why don't we sleep when we are tired and why don't we eat when we are truly hungry and not because time says so.

I believe time happens faster than we can keep up to it anyway and we never catch up to the current time. We have a deja vu, like this has already happened, or I've been here before to show us time has gone by.

So don't think so much about time - it is only a guideline, a tool to help us navigate through our current life. We don't know how much time we will have on this earth, don't worry about it just find pleasure/happiness whatever that is to you, in each second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year....
