In retrospect I maybe should've picked a variety of examples because this just didn't work out at all.Julianking93 said:
To me it seems that it doesn't matter how much time you have, its how you spend it that counts *optimist over here*
Time is irrelevant, it is something we made up to calculate the movement of an object and then evaluated into something uniquely special. When one stops following time, it quickly becomes apparent how little time matters. Having said that...
A national holiday based around the cycle of the earth around the sun is far better then one on, say, a date some religious head decided their chosen one was born. Second only to major events within the life of a nation itself.

Surely then we should celebrate nothing? As time is straight and due to our lack of time travel / time observing technology there is no way to change the future then nothing should be celebrated. For instance if you win a race don't celebrate from the start of time itself events have been shaping themselves into a patten to allow you to win that race and the outcome was inevitable.Julianking93 said:
Well people get older and die so time is important.
But I think 2010 is a big thing because we survived 10 rotations of the earth around the sun and begin another 10 cycles.

I think you are referring to the arbitrary significance we apply to specific dates or times of year. Specific dates when we're supposed to love each other, specific dates when we're supposed to be together with our loved ones, specific times to give thanks for what we have; these are all arbitrary constructs created by man to dictate behavior, which makes them irrelevant. We can give thanks, love those close to us, and come together with our fellow man whenever we want, and it (opinion incoming) ought not be controlled and manipulated by commercially-motivated industries and corporations. But I digress.
Specific dates, and the significance attached to them, are irrelevant. Time itself, however, is not irrelevant. Time matters.

Nice. In the same kind of way I was going to agree that time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.DragonsAteMyMarbles said:
