“God created time and God created plenty of it.” (Irish proverb)
In a capitalist society, “Time is money.” Therefore, an entire system has been constructed to convince us to commodify this thing we collectively agree is “time.”
Time flies but we can also kill time. We’re ashamed to waste it, claim to never have enough of it, and live our lives as if it’s a race against a fictional ticking clock.
Time, as we’re taught to generally perceive it, is a construct. It’s a fabrication and everyone (on some level) knows it. Twice a year, for example, we turn clocks forward and back and pretend it all makes sense.
To question mainstream perceptions of time, however, is to risk being ostracized. To acknowledge that time is a psyop requires us to then recognize that other accepted realities [sic] like property, jobs, taxes, bills, and (of course) money are also just scams and manipulations.
In fact, 441 “years” ago this “week”, we casually deleted 10 “days” of “time” without batting an eye.
Pope Gregory XIII decreed that October 4, 1582 (in the Julian calendar) would be immediately followed by October 15, 1582 (in the Gregorian calendar). Everyone was suddenly 10 days older but they just went along with the ruse.
Translation: If enough people — and enough of the “right” people — decided that tomorrow was unnecessary, it could also be deleted. Sure, this would throw off all of our artificial schedules, plans, and deadlines, but we’d diligently figure out how to get right back on the beat-the-clock treadmill.
We’d once again choose to ignore the glitch in the matrix and casually return to pacifying compliance.
Like “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” we are living a lie. The deception is evident, but we’re afraid to point it out. Then, after a while, too many folks no longer see the deception.
“The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber.” (Romans 3:11)
Above, I used this phrase: “If enough of the ‘right’ people decided.”
Spoiler alert: We’re the right people.
We don’t need input from Wall Street, The Fed, the Pentagon, CNN, the United Nations, or any church to acknowledge the evidence of our senses.
Never did, never will. We already know what we feel.
It’s about “time” we reclaim our inherent power and wisdom from the diabolical parasites who contort our minds into subordination.
How loud does the alarm have to ring?

Fascinating, when you put it like that!
I do genealogy. It has changed my perception of time. I find it most interesting to be able to pin world events to the presence of a person with a name associated with mine. Time shrinks for me when I can see that this person's marriage was recorded according to the Napoleonic calendar, or this man was affected by the Jacobite Rebellion. Time shrinks!
That said, I also find that without the structure given to time by a schedule, time slips away very quickly. Especially as my trips around the Sun accumulate!

Here in Eastern Europe, this saying was probably more popular in the communist era than it is now.
Bolsheviks sure loved messing with time. Russia had kept using Julian calendar, and one of the first things Bolsheviks did, just about three months after gaining power, was to drop February 1-13 1918 to align with the rest of the world. That was not enough, and they started experimenting with five- and six-day weeks and kept doing so until 1940 when they reverted to traditional ways, likely because war was obviously approaching.
Orthodox Church still sort of uses Julian calendar; also, quite a lot of people in Russia and elsewhere in Eastern Europe celebrate «Old New Year» on January 14 just because they can.
