Do you ever feel that Watches are mocking our Time??

Question

Showing us the moment, the second, that flees and never comes back?

I don't like it how fast it is.. :)

Answer 1

Someone once said watch hands are like blades cutting time away.

Answer 2

What time?

Time is a man made construct to make eternity seem like something we can control. We can't. It you think about it you could remove the second hand and the minute marks and even the hour marks from your watch and simply watch the hands move. Or you could go Fred Flintstone on life and buy a sundial. Wet end to think we can control the universe when that is easiest done by simply allowing it to control us. You can not turn back time but you can ignore the changes you see and that way time never happened. Enjoy the song.

Answer 3

This reminds me of the old school clocks in our classrooms when I was a kid.  They were enormous and ominous, noisy and you could hear every single tick of the second hand.  When the minute hand moved it was in one swift spring loaded clang then 60 seconds later, another clang.  I swear those old fossil clocks are still ticking the school days somewhere with the same disrupting annoyance it did when I was sitting in those dusty old classrooms.  Geez...now I'll have nightmares after remembering this. Thanks  

Answer 4

Time itself is mocking us -the watches/clocks are just the keepers of that time.

Answer 6

omg yes. its hard for me to wear a watch! in school i wore this beautiful gold watch because i always got compliments on it but i had to stop wearing it because when i would lay my head on my arm n try to sleep (i kno, i was a slacker) i always heard the ticking keeping me awake letting me kno i was wasting time. n when i was at my ex's house (4 sum reason this mostly only happened there) i was always looking at it, thinking about the time i was wasting with him. i hate watches haha.

Answer 7

it's how you see it! we wouldn't know about the same time if we did not have a watch...

Answer 8

yeah, they really are. i also hate them because they make me rush. Imagine if there were no watches, we'd be free of the tension of running out of time. But again dear, it's because of them that we do everything on time and get a good 8 hour sleep at night.

Answer 9

"The tick-tock of clock is painful...all sane and logical...I wanna tear it off the wall!"

Answer 10

I remember a guy I used to know and who was fascinated by the difference between the actual universal time and our inner time. He thought that if he could find a way to mix them together, then he could escape time... that there's a... temporal break between the two and once found it would lead him to illo tempore, the time of the origins.

as crazy as it may sound, the guy didn't end up in a mental institution, on the contrary, he's a philosopher now... and all these ramblings seem interesting to people. not to me.

I've learned the hard way that what for others seem as a few months, for me it can mean an eternity. I don't have any patience... and my time doesn't have any physical and objective reference, it doesn't function according to a watch, but it functions according to my state of mind.

my time is mocking the watches. and it even mocks me sometimes.

Answer 11

Now you have got me confused.  If time does not exist, than the watch is futile.  But the watch is there!  I think the inventors new what they where doing - they meant for you to 'watch' it. Keep track of what you are doing, how long you have been doing it, shouldn't you be doing something 'better'?  So that you can feel guilty about your goals, life, love and everything else that goes on in your life. Because if you stop 'watching' you might be happy, and that is a waste, or not?  Sit outside under a tree, in the sun, and you'll quickly learn - you don't need to be 'watched'!

Peace.
