If you were given sleeping gas, and when you awoke, you were on a remote island with other people who seemingly were gassed as well, the first thing you would want to check is if anyone remembered anything, what day and time it is. As time went by, you would wonder where you are, if you will ever return to a larger civilization, and whether you will die on the island. later on, you will stop thinking about where you are and worry about surviving, and there will be someone who is always marking off the days they have been there. Soon later, no one cares for time because you have nothing to reference time to, no deadlines to meet, no place to truly go, apart from the places you have built to survive and to interact with the people who are there with you in a peaceful manner.
Now some may not agree with the above statement, and I totally agree with you, because not everyone's brain is wired the same way. You will find objections to some points, yet you cannot truly not see the scenario as valid, and some of us just do not have the imaginative power required to see the above example.
The point above demonstrates that sooner or later, all we truly will care about is living and interacting with one another again. Time is an illusion, and we were given these borders of perception to keep us from thinking outside our little bubble. We know that previous to reading this note, we were not thinking about this scenario or time itself (or coincidentally some may have). We know that we thought about something a short while ago, we know we are reading now, and we know we will get up and go to bed soon. These are things we know from experience, not because time is moving, but rather that we are experiencing further our ability to know more, experience more, and through all these, gain wisdom with which to predict and make the future.
Those who have hears, let them hear, those who have eyes, let them see.
So simple, yet so hard to digest and make into action such brilliance.
