Invisibly, we engage in a fierce struggle with ‘time.’ Both economic activities and wealth accumulation are battles against time. Time is fair and irreversible. Therefore, it makes sense to evaluate and judge the value of an asset based on time. Additionally, we analyze past records to assess and forecast the future, while also avoiding current deprivation by bringing the concept of ‘future’ into the present to compensate for insufficient assets. All of this is the magic of time. The past influences the present, and the future shapes the present. The present of the past is molded by the current moment, and the future will also attempt to predict what lies ahead by examining the present. We live by differentials and sometimes integrals. I believe this phenomenon occurs because the concept of infinity exists. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Human beings don't know the substance of time. The time we know is only a sign expressed mathematically and astronomically by the machine "clock." Human life under the minute-unit system began when human beings lived with a comparatively precise machine. Before the Industrial Revolution, a concept of time naturally followed the ordinary way of life. When a promise was made, the condition was, "Let's meet before dinner." Therefore, there was a rare case of people angrily going outside because the counterparty was 10 minutes late. The framework that the human being makes, makes the human being again. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
