Time.

A weird thing that you can neither grasp, nor escape from.

An odd thing that humans created to make some things easier. You can pinpoint the exact time of tides, you can see the times that a movie is playing, you can arrange a time to hang out with a friend, you can time a runner and you can find the time of death.

Time, it seems, rules all.

But time can control you.

Recently, people have been getting obsessed with time. They can't find the time to spend time with their family, or you didn't have enough time to do your homework. You have to be at work or school at this specific time or you will be late. Things open and close at very specific times and people are told they will die at this time. 

It rules us.

It controls us.

But what if we never had time? 

Would life be better if it was never invented?

Maybe instead of feeling trapped within a 24 hour period every day, we could just go with the flow of day and night. Have fun without a care that you'll be late for your curfew or that you'll be late for school.

I have learned that when people are enjoying themselves, they forget about time all-together. They are too joyful to care about what time it is or how much has passed.

So the saying is true. Time does fly when you're having fun.

But what about catching planes? Or knowing movie times?

I guess sometimes, in order to have fun, you have to know the time.

What do you think?

Is time a curse or is it a gift?
