“Time is a mind construct. It's not real”
— Prince
Simplified Meaning:
People created the idea of time to organize their days and understand when things happen. Imagine if we lived without clocks or calendars; we would still live our lives, but without knowing exactly when events occur. For example, before clocks were invented, people would use the position of the sun to know if it was morning, afternoon, or night, but they still managed to farm, cook, and sleep. In the same way, time itself is not something you can touch or hold. It's a concept we use to make sense of our lives. Knowing this means you don't have to stress too much about time running out. Instead, focus on enjoying your moments and experiences. For example, if you're always worried about being late, you might miss out on the joy of the actual event you are preparing for. Understanding that time is just a way to measure, not a strict rule, can help you live more freely and happily.
