"It strikes! One, two, three, four, five, six. Enough, enough, dear watch,Thy pulse hath beat enough. Now sleep and rest; would thou could'st make the time to do so too; I’ll wind thee up no more." - Ben Jonson. This here shows that time is something that can be taken very lightly, or very seriously. It could be something that one does not even think about or something that one always thinks about. The tick of time often drives people mad. They are constantly worried about being on time, and doing something in spite of time. It can destroy people’s minds. It can drive them crazy. To me, it inspires. But to others the tick of time is something that only makes things worse. It’s a constant reminder that time is always going. That it will eventually run out. It is a reminder that everything good, and bad, will eventually come to an end. This is why it drives some people mad. It is actually a fascination. Many people have anxiety about the nature of time. When you hear the ticking of a clock, whose time is ticking anyway? Your time? My time? God’s time? There is so much of the unknown about time itself. How it goes, and how it is calculated. What happens to it, where does it go and when is there too much of it? One may never discover these things. All I know is that if you just listen to the tick…the tick of a clock, it can show that you have ONE shot. One shot to make things right. To some it makes them have a ridiculous daily routine. The routine is set in their minds hoping that nothing will go wrong, or out of the ordinary. They have made a schedule, expecting to know what will happen and when it will happen. But little do they know that none of these things are really in their control. People are unable to stop the inevitable. What is bound to happen will happen. No matter what. The tick of time really gets to some people. They cannot think about how it can affect their lives, or what it does to people. Where it comes from or how it goes. It can be a very scary thing.
