I guess time is very important in the modern world now. People have to go to work and you start at a certain time day and I guess we have become enslaved by the concept of time! I was thinking to myself though, what would it be like without time? How did prehistoric man/woman cope? I guess they were focused solely on the sun and it's movement across the sky. When it was day they did what they could to survive and when it was night, they slept, procreated, that kind of thinghappy. I don't wear a watch myself but I guess I still have to keep track of time and I do this by using my mobile. Anyway, time! Is there anyway the modern world could survive without it? Take your time in responding to this one!!happyAndrew

Hi Andrew, although Greek time is famous in its idea of any time it does actually rather exist. These days the fishermen might fish by the tides and moon but they set their alarm clocks to get them there at the right time, the shops shut at the right time for their afternoon sleep but may re-open on Greek time, there is a right and wrong time to eat out. But without doubt the buses run on Greek time which is whenever they feel like it.


myLot reputation of 95/100. AndrewFreyne (2415)   ranked 34 out of 19,055 in questions & answers  3 months ago

That's an interesting idea about Greek time. That's definitely something I recall about fishermen and how they monitor time. They have the moon to accompany them and it's just so clever how they keep track of time. I wish that we didn't have to live with time though, I wish we could just forget about it altogether, I'm thinking that the world would probably cease to exist at this point! Andrew

Hi Andrew, I have often thought of this myself but your idea of how people managed would certainly sound like the logical answer. The idea of how to measure time goes back thousands of years to such tings as the water clock, the sun dial and of course the hour glass. We really don't know with certainty why a day is divided into 24 hours just as we can only guess as to why seven days in a week. The Jews claim that their God created the world in six days and rested on the seven to answer the question, why seven days in a week? Many wise men down through the eons have no doubt had a part in it as man developed and arrived at the system that we have today. We are to remember that time was created by man and has meaning only for us here. Those in other solar systems may use something completely different or have no need to measure time at all. Most of those who believe in life after death realize that time can have no meaning in the spiritual world. Blessings.


myLot reputation of 95/100. AndrewFreyne (2415)   ranked 34 out of 19,055 in questions & answers  3 months ago

That makes a lot of sense. It's interesting that you mention other solar systems and I'm sure that there must be something else out there, another species and they use a totally different time system or maybe they do not use time at all, that would definitely make for a very relaxing world! Well, I have made the decision never to wear another wrist watch so I guess I'm halfway there in giving up the concept of time! Andrew

This is something I've been wondering about, myself lately....seems before there was electric and automobiles, people got a lot done in one day and they didn't have clocks like we do....I think it probably had a lot to do with where the sun was in the sky. Without t.v., computers and radio, after dark, what did someone have left to do with very little light? I guess they just would go to bed and get up before the sun did, get started on their day and worked while they had the sunlight to take advantage of it and kept a routine.
I think it's funny that we have all of these time saving devices and shortcuts and we still don't have time in a day to do what we want to do.


myLot reputation of 95/100. AndrewFreyne (2415)   ranked 34 out of 19,055 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Yes, that's right! I think that the creation of time has also led to the creation of stress and everything having to be completed within a certain time frame! I'm sure that all the people throughout the pre time period had a far better existence. Andrew

Hi Andrew!
I am completely agreed with you. Modern world is bound with time. I have to do my entire job based on time. My schedule is totally bound by time what to do at what time that is based ton time. I have to do lots of work in the morning and time is best to divide my work. Based on time I allocate different work. In past year they were not so precise about time, sun was the only object to decide time. They used to work for only food; due to their lifestyle they had good health and body. But nowadays we have to consider all activity due to changed lifestyle.
In ancient time, there are many structures found which is known as sun clock in India. They created sun clock to check time. You have to come to India to see that giant sun clock. Have a nice day!!


myLot reputation of 95/100. AndrewFreyne (2415)   ranked 34 out of 19,055 in questions & answers  3 months ago

I guess that we would be totally lost without time nowadays! I'm thinking that the whole of society would just crumble if time was suddenly to disappear! Well, I look at the clock occasionally but I don't like to focus on it too much! Andrew

yeah you are right andrew. have a nice day!!

I think time makes our world. Everything should be timed. Anything is accorded to time. Oh time look what youve done to us.


myLot reputation of 95/100. AndrewFreyne (2415)   ranked 34 out of 19,055 in questions & answers  3 months ago

I guess even our good old planet Earth is entirely focused on time! It travels around the sun in so many days or years and this is all calculated as time, very interesting. Well, I think that time can lead to stress if too much focus is placed on time! Andrew

Maybe no human no time, and no time no world.


myLot reputation of 95/100. AndrewFreyne (2415)   ranked 34 out of 19,055 in questions & answers  3 months ago

Yes, that makes sense, I'm pretty sure that the world would fall into chaos now if time was taken away completely. We would then have to rely on the sun and the moon once more to tell the difference between night and day! Andrew

It's important to take note that cavemen/women had time too. They just didn't have any Timex's back then. LOL! The sun still rose and set each day.
Time was created by God for us. When we die, whether we go to Heaven or Hell, there will be no time. There will be nothing but eternity.
Living in Time can certainly be frustrating at times when you have to get somewhere or finish something at the office for your boss before you go home for the day. I certainly am with you on that. Even though I don't work there are times when Time gets in the way for me.
Have a great day Andrew!

I wish we could get rid of the concept of time altogether! Time tends to create a lot of stress and worry I think! Still, I have vowed never to wear a watch ever again. If I have to look at the time then I will find out by taking a quick glance at my mobile phone! Andrew
