It’s time! We are obsessed with it and live by it. I frequently hear statements about how time teaches us everything about life, including its ups and downs, and that everything is about timing because if we manage it well, it will be sufficient for success. However, in practice, it is only a construct that is hypocritical. We adore an artificial light created by humans. But what would happen if we claimed to be experts on time and turned out to be lies? If the concept itself is hypocritical? Is it a power that, whilst promising to make us better, instead turns us into its slaves?
The Illusion of Control:
We always think that we have control over time, we set alarms for ourselves, plan crucial meetings, celebrate milestones like birthdays on time, but in actuality, time controls us more than we control it. When we complete a task within a given time limit, we assess our ability. It is impossible to conquer something in the race against time.
However, isn’t it amusing that, despite our best efforts, time ultimately has the upper hand? We are stuck with never-ending deadlines and due lines. Our lives are measured in hours, minutes, and seconds. This is the reality of the hypocritical time that we place ourselves in.
Time’s Contradictory Nature:
Think about how our sense of time causes it to appear to expand or compress. Spending time with a loved one is special, but the time spent on a ventilator is never forgotten. This contradiction demonstrates how time is real. This is a flexible concept of our feelings and expressions, not a measure of reality.
And with that what are your thoughts about arbitrary nature of time. That thoughts that it can be one time in new York and other in Pakistan underscores the absurdity of treating time as a fixed, universal constant.
Time perceived inconsistency:
A phenomenon known as “time perceived inconsistency” occurs when people see time differently based on their emotions, circumstances, and point of focus. While a clock can measure time itself, our subjective perception of it can differ significantly.
To comprehend the seeming contradiction in time I’ll give you a quick illustration of how time seems to fly when you’re having fun but seems to stay stuck when you’re bored. This contradiction results from the way our brains interpret time differently depending on our emotional state, level of engagement, and how novel the experience is. “Time perceived inconsistency” refers, in essence, to the discrepancy between our subjective perception of time and its objective passage.
Breaking Free from the Time Trap:
If time is a hypocritical construct, then what we have to do about it? First step is that time is not an absolute truth but it is our perception on what we agree to follow. For understanding, that time is a contradict we have free ourselves from it.
However, this does not negate the necessity to respect appointments and the pragmatic side of time. Over time, it means to wonder how much control it has over us. It is about living in a timelessness that allows us to enjoy life beyond the hours of the clock.
Conclusion:
Although time seems contradictory, we have allowed it to rule our lives. Its ability to look both pervasive and elusive—a force we never quite grasp but always follow—is what gives it its hypocritical nature. When we accept it with contradiction over time, we can start to recognize it for what it really is:? We believe it to be true because a man made us believe it. Instead of the ticking of the clock, we have life, which is paced by our own unique existence.
