And maybe that taught system of time management is taking away from us what we naturally are. Could it be by ignoring our natural rhythms, much of what we suffer along the lines of illness attributed to modern living is in part because of it ? But then time itself, the time we are all trained to live on, when it is I am forced to live on the usual man made time construct that most others use, I find there is not enough time to complete what has to be completed, and with that I find irritation that although we have such standards in time, hardly anybody works to this standard, how many clocks have you seen that are wrong, or set at a different time to your time keeper ? For me if there is a standard, then everything else must be at that standard, or what is the point, no point, and no point in having an accurate time keeper if the time it keeps is different from the standard. But if someone has a time keeper that displays a different time than the standard, then one is effectively operating at the owner's standard, not the official standard, which often causes such problems of being late or early, never on time. Of course we all know variations from an owner/employer's standard often causes negative comment and action, which is hardly fair, if others keep to the official standard. Now, the plant and animal kingdom, how the hell do they function without what we are forced to live with, though they seem to manage perfectly well, and although we have our artificial standards, we must wait for nature, so what is the point of time measurement, for to me, it seems time measurement is just another form of control for those who believe in being controlled by artificial means.
