what is time?
only a social constructed created by humans
a non uniform, universal conception
varying from culture to culture
society to society
the idea of a minute is not accepted anywhere
the notion of time existing
in regards to the past
is not evident everywhere
phrases such as two years ago
a couple months ago
a decade ago
are useless to some people
events are used to relate to past actions
such and such happened around the time so and so was born
my sister was born around the time my brother was married
events shape their history
their cycles
their life
time seems to have a much greater hold on our own
we are slaves to the clock
the calendar
our life does not revolve around the events within it
it revolves around the minute
the hour
the day
