While searching for ideas and quotes to influence and inform my ideas of time I have been finding there is alot of discussion that time isn't real. I happened upon Griffin Davis's Facebook status that said, "What exactly is a waste of time, when time is only a concept?"
Time is like God, we are raised talking about both of them and the truth in their existence, as a child there is no question about the existence. They are real, but as we get older people start to question their beliefs. Some people decide they don't believe in God and somehow I don't know what I believe. It seems like I can't say its not real because I want god to be real but I dont know how to explain that he could be.
Time is different than that because I never considered its existence until now. I don't know how it cannot be real but it really is just a theory of the changes that occur in the work. This concept places us all on a timeline along with our actions and plans all on a timeline. I am not sure how to explain or imagine the world without the concept of time tying what had happened to what will happen.
William Penn said, " Time is what we want most, but what we use the worst." I thought this quote was brilliant until I thought about the existence of time. It is strange that we can desire something that is just a concept.
The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight. Maybe it can start tomorrow, from stealing all my time. This is a lyric from Lifehouse's song Broken. I thought the first line was brilliant and insightful and then I learned it was from a song, which just makes me feel silly that I thought it was so deep. But i guess music can be in some cases an art form and a true form of expression when it is not confused with the pop/rap cultures and lady gaga craziness.
These random different quotes have all started me thinking about what is time and what do I care about time. What do I want to validate in my images? Am I trying to prove something? Im not sure yet...
