is it sad? whaddaya think about it?

Every day time passes, taking that much from our lives. 

What have we done with our last 24 hours?  Will it make a difference to the world, or to you?  Or was it just a waste, like mine was?

I don't believe in time.

The passing of time got me to this point, so I am happy.  We can't stop time from happening, nor go back, so regrets are pointless.  Our best choice (in my opinion) is to enjoy and live our lives to the fullest, and aspire to be the best we can be at whatever fullfills us and makes us happy.

Time is your life and it is finite. Enjoy it, as it is a non-renewable resource to you.

Where does time go? That was the question I asked in forth or fifth grade and was sent to the corner. It was one of the last questions I ever asked in school, then the chaos began..........

Time is a measurement and does not come or go anywhere.  It is like saying where does width go?

It's most likely wrong just to think of time as its own abstract, it is part of space, as in time/space, one is useless without the other.

Quoteone is useless without the other

Not exactly. Many times we think in one two or three dimensions without needing the others. There are probably more that we are not using.

Just because you are not using it, or seeing it, does not mean its not there.

Time exists so that everything doesn't happen at once. Space exists so that no one can hear you scream. With such disparate raisons d'être, is it any wonder there is a relative negative sign in the spacetime metric?

Time is merely a man made construct, existing to make it simpler, easier, for us to comprehend causality. The truth is ofcourse that neither yesterday nor tomorrow really exist.
All there is, is "right now", and once that's been altered, the "right now" we just experienced doesn't exist anymore, outside of memory ofcourse.

Okay, everything is "constructed" in the sense that we experience the world through the processes of our senses filtered through our minds. But if everything has property "X," then property "X" is a very boring property. You are a construct, love and suffering are constructs, sound is a construct, <insert your favorite noun> is a construct -- that's not deep, it's trivial.

Sorry, but while there are certain phenomena out there that are "merely" constructs, or at least closer to it, time is not one of them.

We do not experience things as they happen. There is a time delay from our senses to our brain.

We do construct plans and action such as hitting a ball, driving a car, and meeting someone at a place. The concept is constructed in our mind.

"Merely" as in "only." That we construct the experience of hitting a ball doesn't negate the reality of the event.

Which is part of why "I" don't believe "I" exist.

What do you say to someone who doesn't exist?

One can only truly understand the meaning of the passing of time when one looks into the face of Pam Anderson circa 2009.

somebody once told me to look at a clock upside down and ask myself what is time? I still don't understand

The only thing I have to say about the passing of time...is that I just wish it would pass a little slower sometimes. This year has gone by incredibly fast, whats seems like only a couple weeks have turned into several months already =\ . . .
