Time. A beautiful invention or a our worst diaster?

Time, in this life we are stuck with time. The time of birth and until the day of death. In today’s society, we are now also time-bound. The world and the people who live in it are all in a race against time. In each of the residential areas, we are fighting this battle against time, we are in a hurry, we are running from appointment to appointment. And we never have enough time to fill our daily tasks. There are still some living areas on our earth where groups of people live, or tribes who hardly feel and experience this materialistically. They still live according to the old customs, with respect for nature and animals through religion and belief. However, these are few and far between. In general, the entire population of the world is in an armed struggle against Father Time.

The way of life according to the time as we know it today was designed in the years 1642–1727 of our human existence. Needed to better understand the universe, the sun, the planets and the stars.

However, time dates back much further in our history. The only difference is that time was not a necessity but a tool to grow crops, to take into account heavy rainfall, cold and hot temperatures and the drought. Time was a tool to determine the seasons, so that food was stored in time in the barns or buildings provided for this purpose. It wasn’t more than this.

However, time took on a new concept when the precision of the seasons, the number of days of them, could be calculated. Man had defeated something again. We humans have evolved into competition warriors, fighters who wanted to beat time and the seasons. Before the new concept of time, people were often more satisfied with their way of being. There was more peace, respect and reverence for all living things. Religion and faith also had a deeper origin in human existence at that time.

Hasn’t Isaac Newton’s invention, which I call “the new age” to 24 hours, 60 minutes and seasonal days, been the catastrophe of humanity?

By knowing the precision and the accuracy about how time and space move with each other. Or how time actually came to determine how space moved, a new desire arose. How could we beat the seasons?

We all know our seasons, winter, autumn, spring and summer. Every continent has to deal with these four seasons. It is only because of the position of the earth in line with the sun that the seasons are not in accordance with each other, but it is almost place-bound. This is also partly due to the time difference, which is spread over the earth.

Time has actually been the origin of the metal and copper age. The time of technology. By extracting raw materials from the earth, beating metal and building structures, we learned how to grow crops in the coldest period of the year. We learned to retain heat in our homes through heaters and insulation.

After all, we feel like we have already beaten the earth. So why are we still not satisfied? Or have we not defeated the earth but have been defeated by our own invention, that of time? With the invention of time, there was a surplus of food, water, other beverages and raw materials. This was the evolutionary alarm in our brain to make us reproduce more and spread further across the earth. The population suddenly began to grow at a breakneck pace.

But what was to be defeated? And I haven’t even mentioned the scientific problem of the ever-growing population. How do we keep them happy and busy, so that crime and the true quest for freedom are not expressed. In this way, we have now arrived in the year 2024 as we know it today. With advanced technology, with a lot of distractions such as Social Media and gadgets. An abundance of superfluous luxuries. And many types of career opportunities. After all, people have to stay off the streets.

We humans originally needed that sense of usefulness, in ancient civilizations this sense of usefulness was nurtured automatically. Because surviving with the seasons had its function in it. After the development of time and the beating of the seasons, the sense of usefulness was taken away from us. And this is the raging turmoil that runs through your veins. You long from your subconscious for a time of rest, knowledge, experience and reverence. From birth, we are given a time of rushing, must, never wanting enough and more. A very unhealthy issue if you ask me.

So the sense of usefulness has to be nurtured in a different way, and we do this with our jobs. Society is still creating new functions on a daily basis in order to maintain satisfaction and the nurturing of that utility. So that one does not come to the longing for the old days, when freedom was a given. We are all trapped in a cluster of time, an invention that has brought about many unhealthy situations. Has created dangerous situations such as exhaust fumes that are harmful to heaven and earth. And thus set in motion the destruction of the earth. Not only that: we extract raw materials from the soil of the earth and drain it completely. This leads to landslides, floods, volcanic eruptions and the way the earth screams at us; enough is enough now!

The dissatisfaction and the lack of usefulness, all because of the little strife in us that wants to defeat all the laws of the earth. Because, and this one is harsh, man believes that he can and should defeat all laws that should really be considered sacred. We are not the rulers of the earth, the earth is our leader, our dwelling place that we must treat with reverence and care. Humanity has its head in the clouds about their own evolutionary existence, the growth and the size of our ego. That we have forgotten what is really our place in this world and in the entire universe.

As I often sing, that’s how I close; Because once you draw the conclusion, time is just an illusion.

With Love,
