How do you view Time? asks Eileen Dight |
|
If you have waited an hour for a bus, a day for forgiveness, a week for a biopsy result, months for a baby’s birth, years for a divorce, decades for vindication, you know that time is relative. Of all calculations, it’s perhaps the most flexible, its measure the most subjective. What is your attitude to filling and using time? Do you cram as much as possible into the day? Do you spend it luxuriously, at your own pace, without pressure? Are you able to change gear? Does your perspective differ as you get older? In your thirties do you suddenly realize that twenty years have gone by in a flash? Is time the reason you fear to turn forty? In your seventies do you hope for another decade? How does it strike you at ninety? People’s attitudes to Time and the way they use it, reveals much about their personality, attitudes and philosophy. I’m collecting contributions and hope to compile a book that illustrates as many personalities as contributors. Please write a piece from fifty to five hundred words (or more) about your view of time and e-mail it to me. Use a pseudonym if you wish. Indicate where you live and give your age (if you will). Tell your friends and invite them to contribute. All will receive a reply. |

Time limit Time on your hands, face, body Time to relax, squander, luxuriate Time to get ready, get going, act Timing is everything Waiting time Doing time Taking and making time Wasting time Filling time Pastime Time is money Time I started……. Time I stopped…… Time I wasn’t here..
