I asked my grade school teacher about time in the following manner "Madam" i said "If what i am saying to you now, is the past,but you hearing it in the present & what i still will say is in the future-then what is time?" I recently read a book called "the power" of Now & could relate to it immediately.In moments of helplessness is when i become aware of the role of time.My experience of time is not linear,Krishnamurti once described Time as being "the interval between an IDEA & ACTION" The Sufi's say"Time is a cutting sword,if you do not cut it-It cuts you" This is very insightful & i did’nt realise that this was such a problem.I have had this problem since i was a kid.
