time keeping comfort

1)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?

There are different facets to the idea of time as a gift. The first being simple, that we associate our existence with a span of time and that we are appreciative of that existence in that time span. The idea that interests me more it that concept that our ability to track time is a gift. People have a great love of categorizing and organizing their live and environments, we find comfort in this type of control through understanding. Out ability of understand time and use it as measurements and use to to make sense of things is one of the greatest gifts of comfort to people. This is particularly interesting because time and its much larger less daily and more scientific applications hold so many mysteries and unknowns. IT holds so much power and potential and is so often beyond the reach of human understanding... a fact which i find appropriate because even though people dispiritedly try of organize and categorize and understand we are forever falling short.
