Time

Time is our greatest gift. Our lives are ruled by time it seems. We have carved up time, sliced it and diced it, kneaded and squeezed it. Our misguided attempts to get more out of time have only left us feeling divided, fragmented, stretched and pressured. We have tried to dam the flow of time, to freeze it and channel it, to make it work for us. Yet in our futile attempts to change the nature of time, it is us who are left feeling manipulated, directed, inflexible and overworked. We have striven to become masters over time, yet we are more slaves to time today than ever before.
