“Go placidly amid the noise and the haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terns with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly: and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant: they too have their story.”
Desiderata - Max Ehrmann
chronemics and the subjectivity of time
“From the perspectives of monochronic (fixed) cultures, time is linear and universal. From those of polychronic (adaptable) cultures, time is cyclic and relative.”
Time is spoken as, in English, expendable. We make, use, and put in time; have it to spare, run out of it; we take time off, save it.
How does language shape our perspectives of time?
How do these perceptions vary across different cultures?
And how do these perceptions shape how we live and interact with the world?
How do these perceptions differ or connect to nature’s time?
