Time.

Hello,

Let's talk about time. 

Time is this weird force that has an iron grip on the world. Everything evolves around it and us humans, we just love it. Time is everywhere, on your wrist, on your phone, on all the clocks around your house, on your calenders and even in your wildest imagination. Time is always there. Everything is made out of it. Us humans have given names to different periods of times like days, weeks, minutes, hours, seconds, decades, millennia, milliseconds and so on and so on. Every period of time has a name and for some reason we all know and accept those names. It's something we just do. A period of time of 24 hours is a day. 7 days are a week and 52 weeks are a year just as 365 or  like once every four years, 366 days are. All that exist exists of time. All we do exists of time and all we've been given is just an unknown amount of time. 

What a wonderful thing time is. It can go fast and it can go slower than you sometimes wish it could. Laughter makes time pass by faster and boredom will slow it down. At least that's what people have been telling each other for centuries. We take that knowledge and pass it on to our children and they'll pass it on to theirs until someone gets a grip on time and maybe defeats everything we thought we knew about it until that very moment. From that moment on all will be different, our minds will be blown and that person will probably get a lot of hate for toying with the strong believes of man kind. I pray for that person having some convincing and solid proof for his/ her new theories on the subject of time. Convincing mankind has been proven a very difficult task and not one for the ones with weak beliefs. 

Human beings, I believe, love control. They love having a grip on everything and believing only what can be proven or what has been the common believe for centuries. Time is one of those things. Most likely invented by mankind to get control over night and day and some sort of control over life and death and all the years in between. Now time is a very common believe and we already know quite a lot about it, at least we think we do. Time is everywhere and we can't do anything without it. Want to go out with friends, you have to set a date and a time to go. Planning a holiday a time and date need to be set again. Birthday, an annual thing, it happens once every year, once every 365 or sometimes 366 days. My blog, I said I'd upload once a week, mostly on a Thursday. Everything we do involves time and we can't do anything about it.

Time is something us humans have invented to get even more control over life than we already had and now time has gotten a grip on us. A very tight grip and time is not likely to loosen that grip any time soon. We created it to get control over our lives and now it has us under it's control.
