bloody tyrant TIme...

today I wanna talk about time... how much we have, how much we spend, how much we need and how much we lose. I assume each of us used the cliche at least once: "ow I don't have time for that". the idioms regarding time are so numerous I could easily particuarize ten just out of what I can remember... think of "I have all the time in the world" or "I don't have much time left"; or "I have to buy more time". we went so far with this time obsession that we created expressions that imply buying time. time is a concept! we all know that. but if it is a concept, which obviously should only stand for something, why are we so connected to it? why can't we simply use it as a concept? why do we actually say and believe when we think "ow I did not have time"... to do this or that? I believe it is a matter of choice. you want to have time for something you'll give yourself that time. if you don't want that you'll blame it on the lack of time, which is rather a good excuse because everyone does that and supposedly you are fully understood if you were caught in something big that ate most of yur time. so we are dealing with a vicious circle of time consumers, time borrowers, wasters or buyers. slaves of this bloody tyrant Time (as Shakespeare said; this is my fave catch phrase from all the shakespearian writings by the way :)). nowadays people are caught in a time market. we should start selling time shares at the stock market. I am sure their value will never decrease!
so I am asking you people out there: is time what we need or is it us wanting to really do some things... or not wanting to do them? we did not meet our family because we had no time or because we thought it was not that important and that meeting the ones we hold dear can wait and the job project has to come first? eventually I believe it is about the way you set your priorities. if we know what we want we will do all the things possible to get that and this includes using our time effectively. and when that happends we won't need to use all the phrases about the lack of time because they will become simply ridiculous...
