Sometimes time matters like it is the end of the world. Time beckons you forward to the next to-do, it tickles you when you are sleeping. The most pressing example: You have an impending project due, you must finish the test on time, you have to wake up in time for work.
Sometimes time does not matter like a baby wanders around, curiously peering under every rock, sniffing the smells, and tasting the tastes. The most calming examples: You are done with a big project, you are avoiding reality, you break from tireless work.
Both these sides of life can exist in the same day. Some days work better than others, but all are acting in balance. This morning I felt like time matters in a life and death situation, while this afternoon time did not matter at all. Both of these exist in longer segments, from days to weeks to years. Sometimes these also exist in smaller moments like minutes and even seconds. The most important thing is to know how to balance them. This is the trick, and this is the magic to life. You can not always be under a time crunch as one cannot always neglect the time. It is also possible to have a balance of these two worlds while being “busy”. You can be busy by absorbing the sense of freedom. There are also ways to have a larger sense of freedom from time. These are a bit more tricky, and have no place in this blog.
