Time rules our lives. It's true, we all live our lives according to time. We are obsessed with time. But why?
How many times have you looked at your watch and thought, "Oh no! I'm gonna be late!" or, "Oh look, I'm just on time." It is amazing how many aspects of our lives are affected by time.
But what IS time? Perhaps it's a watch or clock, which points at what the 'time' is (although, it's not really time, we just classify it in numbers,) and moves around as more time passes. Is it the sun and moon moving up and down? The way the world rotates around the sun? Maybe, when you think of time, you think of the seasons. There are lots of different ways of describing time, but I think the main one is using a watch or a clock.
As I said, time affects almost all aspects of our lives. Work is one of them. Quite a lot of people work for a set amount of hours (a measurement of time) and when they work longer it's called 'overtime.' Most people travel to work. People who travel by train have to check what time the train arrives at the station, and the same is for bus users.
Many jobs involve deadlines, which means finishing a piece of work or finding out something before a set time passes. This is also the same for all us school students. For me, I have to be in school at 8:50am otherwise I get a late mark. We leave school at 3:15pm, no earlier (unless you have a very good reason.) I lookat my watch all the time during the day, to check how long I've got before next lesson, how much more lunchtime there is etc. I am usually willing the time to go faster, and you could sort of say I 'worship' it, especially during Theory IT lessons. {:)
When we're not at work or school/college/university, we're usually checking the time to see how long we've got before we go out, what time our favourite TV programme is on, when our friends are coming over and for kids a big one is how long they've got before bedtime.
But time isn't just in hours and minutes. We use days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries and millenniums. It is currently the 9th October, in the year 2001. On the eve of 31st December 1999, we celebrated the new millennium. There were lots of rumours of the world ending, or all the computers crashing. Fortunately, none of them came to anything, but quite a lot of people got very worked up over them. In fact, almost everyone in the world got worked up over the year 2000, a measurement of time. We celebrate special time's of the year like Birthdays, Christmas and Easter, and we go to sleep in the night-time and get up in the daytime (usually)- time is everywhere!
If you look at all the facts, then we run our lives on time. We base our lives around time. If it wasn't for time, I expect life would be very confusing. So is time a good thing? In a way, yes. It keeps most of us organised, and it helps the whole world to continually keep going, if you know what I mean. But it's bad in another way-it causes much stress and annoyance.
So what do we worship in life? Work? Money? Our family? Perhaps, but most of all, we worship time.

Time is an illusion... I'll let Paul finish that quote :-D
But it's true.
If time wasn't given a name it would still exist but we'd be oblivious to it.
What is time? Progression.
"It's that time of your life when you need to..."
Time may be an illusion but without it we wouldn't be able to live, would we?
Think about it, if time didn't pass then our lives would stop.

True, although we didn't invent the sun and the moon, or light and dark. I guess we invented the names for the seasons, but they are naturally created.
Just asking, did I say anywhere in that post that time was a naturally created 'thing?'
