Time versus Labour: the Perpetual Struggle

Iwant time to know he doesn’t scare me. But he does. Who doesn’t have a battle with time? Since Einstein’s theory of relativity, <a href="https://www.newscientist.com/article/2166665-why-now-doesnt-exist-and-other-strange-facts-about-time/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">theorists</a> have argued that time as we know it doesn’t exist, though this has been hotly contested by some <a href="https://www.thoughtco.com/does-time-really-exist-2699430" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">physicists</a> in the scientific community. What remains from this debate is that time as a fixed concept is refutable. Yet, the discord in the scientific community and our modern, rather rigid understanding of time means that we must put on a <a href="https://theconversation.com/time-might-not-exist-according-to-physicists-and-philosophers-but-thats-okay-181268" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">philosopher’s hat</a> to reappraise it. Ever since I became aware of the notion that time could be subjective, I began to redefine its role in my own life. I realised that denying its existence was impractical. The companies that pay our wages are not interested in the debate, and we must clock in and clock out on their time; meet deadlines. And with globalisation, time is increasingly more standardised. So how do we challenge our relationship with time when survival predicates that we must participate in this global economy? The problem, as I see it, is that continuously dividing up time forces us to perpetually evaluate ourselves according to what we should have “achieved” within small blocks of time. Keeping abreast of short term goals can improve our general wellbeing. Making sure we have eaten three or so healthy meals a day, greeted another person or done some physical activity is good for us. <a href="https://rebwmorris.medium.com/time-versus-labour-the-perpetual-struggle-1edc1502033">Website</a>
