For the time being.

Time is relevant. Being is aware. I can be aware of time by gazing at a watch, clock, or at the position of the suns height in the sky as the earth rotates around our star. This is one way I sense the passage of time. I exit a door way. I know I must meet my lunch date at 11:15. I look at my timepiece and it reads 10:45 a. m. I walk around 3 blocks in a town, city, or village. The weather is pleasant. While I am walking, I do not look at my watch once, but choose to pay attention to the activity that is going on around me. I look for on coming traffic before crossing the street, I stop at a stand that sells popcorn and Cotton candy. I ask for a bag of popcorn, reach in my pocket for money that I give to the vendor.
Each step I take leads me farther from the door I came out of. The door is one fourth of a mile away from were I am now standing as I buy the popcorn. I subjectively think to move my eyes to glance at my watch, and I see a reading of 11:45 a.m. I cross over down the steet and enter a tree filled park. I scatter some of the popcorn onto the ground for the birds and squirrles. I look at my watch after finishing this task, and I am aware that 30 minutes have gone by, and realize that I am now 45 minutes late in meeting with my lunch date. I run out of the park, knowing that I am late meeting this person for lunch at an outside cafe that is, half a block east, from from the popcorn vendor.
I reach a table that my lunch date has a seat. They are drinking an iced coffee. I sit down and offer an apology for being an hour late. My watch reads 12:16 P.M. My lunch date is not upset with me because they inform me that they had just got there ten minutes ago. So, it's O.K. I'm not late in their estimation.

No the chicken came before the egg!!!! Without a being there wouldn't even be a clock or a calender. We see everything in terms of time because humans invented time.
We mark the seasons,the generations the stages of life it's a regulator for our lives.Being is in the nanosecond we are not certain of the next one other than in our ego and life insurance statistics.

Yes, Being is a matter of time but being's spirit is a space thats surrounding to time with past, present & future in a space.

The rubric Being has admitted disclosure only to beings as traits, inasmuch as there is participation in contrast to apprehension by reason. All questioning is thus TOO LATE to grasp Being. Time can be understood incrementally as the individual being experiences, i.e., participates in Being. The seeing of that trait of Being through the actual participation of a being is of itself not independent from volition in Western metaphysics. A willful struggle with the failure of the will to self-determine now characterizes the withdrawal from presence to that which thoughtlessly repeats all those supposed "time saving" successes. Predicating the predicate fails precisely because we are cowards: giving over our will as captive, as slave, to a greater, more powerful and terrifying will instead of willing to simply perish.

If you have to be somewhere then being is a matter of time. If on the other hand you don't have to be anywhere then being is a matter of choice.

No! Existence is a matter of time. Being is the state of presence. And presence has little to do with time.

Time is just a matter of Being, in Space-Time Reality.
It is neither Here, nor There, and neither can it be measured,
so as to say, Look!, Here it is, I got Time by Being Me!

No...just being is living in the here and now....the present moment. Time only exists as a context for us to work within.

Nope. Just the opposite.
Time can only exist where one particle moves in relation to another. Therefore space is created and that only has value if there is an awareness there to perceive it. :>)
It's rather ridiculously simple. LOL
Put another way, time exists because you perceive motion. It is a CONSIDERATION that motion has occurred.
