Time

 

 

We have a very interesting association to time

 

We think that time is an eternal thing

 

Like there is some kind of universal clock, that keeps on ticking

 

Whether, that’s true or not, as Einstein’s theory of relativity basically teaches, time is relative

 

What he meant by that, is, that time is relative to our experience of it

 

So the fact that we see time as an eternal thing, is – whether it’s true or not – how we experience time

 

The reason we experience time in this way – is because day turns to night, night turns to day, like clockwork

 

But the truth is, the most accurate description of time is a timer

 

Time is not eternal – at least relatively speaking, which is our genuine experience of it –

 

Time is, like you set a timer

 

When we are born, as the Talmud teaches, our timer is set!
