try to imagine life without time keeping

you probebly can't, you know the month, the year, the day of the week. there is a clock on your wallor the dashboard of your car. you have a schedule, a calender, a time for diner or a movie.
yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored.
birds are not late. a dog does not check it's watch, deer do not fret over passing birthdays.

man alone measures time.

man alone chimes the hour.

and, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures.

a fear of time running out.
