3. Consider the word "time.“
We use so many phrases with it. Pass time. Waste time. Kill
time. Lose time. In good time. About time. Take your time. Save time.
A long time. Right on time. Out of time. Mind the time. Be on time.
Spare time. Keep time. Stall for time.
There are as many expressions with "time" as there are
minutes in a day. But once, there was no word for it at all. Because no
one was counting.
Then Dor began.
And everything changed.

7. As mankind grew obsessed with its hours, the sorrow of lost

fretted over missed chances, over inefficient days; they
worried constantly about how long they would live, because
counting life's moments had led, inevitably, to counting them
down.

progress to accomplish more in each day. The simple joy of
living between sunrises was gone.
#thetimekeeper
