What Is Time Anyways?

I believe that "time as a gift" has deeper meaning then "time is money."  We all are surrounded by deadlines that stress everyone out and those who can seem to chill out are always (well maybe not always) the ones who make it further.   "Time as a gift" seems to be more welcoming and satisfying rather than "time is money" who gives me a negative connotation towards our capitalistic society that everyone seems to be so caught up in.  Comparing these two quotes can open up new ways we look at stressful events.  For instance, when we are done with class we all want to take a few minutes to shut our eyes and relax but most of us are already pissed off and we say, "I only get 15 minutes to sleep before I have to get up again."  Next time, think of it a different way.  Be more positive and think that you get 15 minutes to sleep instead of using the negative word only.  But then again, when I think of time, I feel it limits what we as people can do if we just had the freaking time.  Once we start a project or get our minds set into what we are producing we have to stop because our times are up and we move onto another aspect of our lives.  In contrast, time also allows structure within our society.  We couldn't even have institutions for learning because we all would never  congregate at the same time.  "Time as a gift" may also have more meaning to others because of the way we spend our time.  Some may sleep, some may do homework, some may have a beer.  In the end, "time as a gift" perceives in my mind, a little less driving and more towards relaxing.
