Answer 1

It's saying that people waste too much time, we're just wasting our lives away doing nothing and being useless. It has a lot of truth to it. And it is all really just a calculation of hours and minutes until we die. Any day could be the last day of your life. It's the count down to death.

Answer 2

Time is a doomsday clock. Rather meaningless except for it's application in a world obsessed with power and influence. Imagine living a simple life with simple needs. The Sun rises and the sun sets, no clocks. The human consciousness has no concept of time. The older you get; you still feel the same as when you were young consciously. When you step outside of the mental world of the majority, it is just an assortment of numbers.

Answer 3

Yes, I agree with this quote. We has a people have become so focused on what time it is and where we should have been ten minutes ago. That we have lost focus on what is truly important in our lives. Family's have fallen apart, kids get left behind. There isn't a care in the world for other things besides what has to be done right now. If we all just took a second and looked around we would realize that we need to slow down!

Answer 4

To be truthful, the first thing I saw in it is that it is grammatically incorrect. The first sentence is actually two complete sentences and should be punctuated so, with a period instead of a comma after the word "meaningless". To me, it makes sense, and reflects an individual's possible boredom with life and possible depression. The key words to my "interpretation" are the beginning word "Lately". That suggests to me that previously this person has been more involved in life, but now has become removed from a more active life, either by their own emotional state or by exterior influences, like being imprisoned. I personally don't agree since my life is too wonderful to imagine time being meaningless. My time is very important to me, even my relaxation time. God Bless you.

Answer 5

I discover Steven Wright costs humorous. Here are a couple of of them I determined on-line. “Last 12 months I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was once utilising a dotted line. He stuck each and every different fish.” “All people who feel in psychokinesis carry my hand.” “OK, so what is the velocity of darkish?” “How do you inform whilst you are out of invisible ink?” “Support micro organism - they are the one tradition a few folks have.” “My rental was once robbed and the whole lot was once changed with certain replicas...I advised my roommate and he stated 'Do I realize you?'” “Yesterday I advised a bird to move the street. It stated, "What for?"” “I Xeroxed my watch. Now I have time to spare.” “I placed instantaneous espresso in a microwave oven and just about went again in time.” “I wrote a tune, however I cannot learn track so I do not know what it it. Every as soon as in a at the same time I'll be being attentive to the radio and I say, ‘I believe I could have written that’.” “I hooked up a skylight in my rental...The folks who are living above me are livid!” “My residence is at the median strip of a freeway. You do not quite realize, besides I have got to go away the driveway doing 60 MPH.” “I purchased a self finding out list to study Spanish. I became it on and went to sleep; the list obtained caught. The subsequent day I would handiest stutter in Spanish.” “I spilled spot remover on my puppy. He's long gone now.”

Answer 6

This is a very emotive statement in a personal and somewhat negative existential moment... the orator is feeling trapped by own mortality and its eventual arrival. Maybe feeling some lack of direction, possibilities and/or purpose!?

It does make sense, but could be better framed.

I disagree to some extent as I'm not in that situation...

Sounds somewhat like Virginia Wolf.

Answer 7

Dementia. One of the most critical factors in mental health is a positive utility of time. Apparently this persons relation to time is distorted as evidenced or presented in the relation to 'fate' as the subject to our knowledge of time rather than knowledge in relation to the future; 'fate' is assumed known at a specific time and therefore a duration to it, but there is no such certainty with one exception: prophetic vision. That notion is, as a matter of course, self ridiculous, unconscionable but not impossible. That would explain the depression.

Answer 8

First sentence piqued my curiosity but the second sentence gave the clue to the conundrum's answer immediately. The person who wrote it, concluded perhaps is dying. That explains it.

For a dying person to be told that his time left is finite, this quote describes his lament.

Answer 9

I think it means that people nowadays are thinking of time as a way to keep track of things instead of what it really is, your countdown to make history. No it dont make sense and i agree. lol

Answer 10

it means to me that time is just ruining us all..that we shouldnt matter on time as much. Learning to be Patient is the main thing. Yes it does make sense in a way.
