At 4.30pm "Are we prisoners of time? by Anastasie Crol.
Jean Giono once said that "time is what happens when nothing happens". Time is an irreducible dimension of things, which cannot be grasped independently of them. There seems to be no doubt about its existence, but when we stop thinking about it, time seems to have disappeared. In contrast, time stretches as our thoughts cling to it, making the idea that it can be stopped an illusion. Are we temporal beings, in the sense that we are a production of time, which implies that we are prisoners of it, or is it our thinking that produces time so that we can escape it somewhat?
