what is time?

They say that money is the root of all evil. Having it lends yourself to the evils of being able to get away with the things that the have-nots get punished for ; the evils of judging and/or snubbing the people who don’t have money. Knowing that you can buy somebody else’s pride, imagination, intellect, and labor can lead you to become idle. Idle hands are the devil’s work is a popular cliché. Not having money lends yourself to the exploitation of the weaknesses of the people that have it. It causes you to lie, cheat, and steal to attain money, and all the luxuries it affords. That evil is usually directed at the people who have money. In reciprocation, the haves will try to oppress the have-nots which will lead to unsatisfactory living conditions. Is it easy to see how much evil is created by money?

Time is money. Notice how you spend time, and spend money? The grammatical interpretation would be that you use the same word, spend, to describe your actions with time and money. Application of that statement, however, runs much deeper. You have to spend time to make money, and spending money can save you time. How much of each usually depends on where you fit in to the social class system. If you use your time to help save another entity (one or many humans) time or money, you can make money for yourself. If you don’t have enough time to help yourself, you can use that money to save time. If I install a light in a room with a switch near the door to enter the room, I am saving time for the owner of that room. They don’t need to find a flashlight and make sure it has batteries to find their way in the room during the dark hours. On a more natural level…they don’t need to find a candle and light that candle to enter the room. They simply need to flip a switch as they walk in the room. For this, they will spend their money to give it to me. If I don’t have enough time to do my laundry for clean clothes, I can spend some of that money to have somebody do it for me. While I spend that money, I could possibly be out making more money while somebody does my laundry. I could also spend the time that I gained by spending money, by doing another task that I need, or even spend the time to do something I enjoy.

When you cause the masters of money to lose some of their money, you may be taking away some of their time. If they catch you, they will demand that you spend time or money to repay them. A fine or retribution may repay them to their satisfaction. Sometimes you may be allowed to spend your time helping the community to repay them. By helping the community in this way, you save the master’s charity money, which in turn saves them time, or allows them to use the money on other helpful causes. If you can not repay the master in these manners, you must spend, or waste your time in jail or prison. While in prison you lose a lot of time and money, but the masters, and effectually your tax-paying peers also lose money. They use some of your time to save money on the costs of running a house for your criminal peers. The only way to avoid all this is to spend your time being cautious not to waste the master’s money, or to spend your time avoiding this fate by devising plans to avoid being caught, running from the police, or hiding from the police. In the end you spend time or money when you waste the master’s money. How much you lose isn’t completely uncontrollable, but it is inevitable.

Money makes the world go ‘round. The desire of the have-nots or even the have-not-as-muches to become the haves can quite possibly be the reason anything gets accomplished under a system of money. Somebody needs a house, somebody builds it for them for monetary compensation and the result is another place of shelter for humans, and money for another human to spend on his needs. In this way, development and advancement can occur. Under a monetary system it is virtually the only way advancement occurs. Time, in it’s true definition, is a measure of the world going ‘round. Each time the world goes around 360° , we label that measurement “a day.” Shorter and longer amounts of time can be measured by: Is the sun in the sky, or not? (day and night) What angle does the sun’s rays hit the Earth? (seasons) How much of the moon is illuminated? (weeks) Has the moon completed it’s illumination cycle? (months) Is it high tide, or low tide? (Hours)

If time is money, and money makes the world go ’round…isn’t it time that makes the world go ’round? If money is the root of all evil, isn’t time the root of all evil? If money makes the world go ’round, then the root of all evils makes the world go ’round. So should we accept that we live on an evil planet? The ridiculousness of some of these notions will hopefully cause you to reconsider some of the ideas that you have been following. Time is relative,it is not the same for even each of us human beings, let alone the pets that live an entire life in 7-10 years or the housefly that lives it’s entire life within a day or two. Just remember…a stitch in time saves nine…dollars.
