What would it mean to say “time is a gift”? How different is “time as a gift” from “time as money”? How might such a view change our lives? Can you think of any negative aspects to this view of time?
My perspective on "time as money," is a life built around greed. I know people where their business is built around this model and I have also worked for companys like this as well. Pretty much time as money is our business world and one that I am personally not happy with but I know that I have to deal with it. A lot of people who follow down this path, as I have seen it, don't care much about their fellow man/ woman but only the bottom line. Can you make me money? Reminds me of that movie Office Space. "So what exactly do you do here?"
A life constructed around "time as a gift," will bring more respect that a person has for the world around them and the people they interact with. Much like many of my peers, I am a poor college student drowning in debt yet I am very cocky in the aspect that I am happier then most of the suites walking the streets down town and driving their porche's. While a person living the life of "time as money," needs to flash their wheels or a wad of green to impress someone outside the work place I can use my greatest weapons. .personality and respect.
