...time does not exist. We just "are". Man created time as a means of measurement. Measurement of change and measurement for human decision-making purposes.

"Time" (as we know it) is the basis behind almost everything. Not having time would confuse our communication a bit. If you think about it, much of our communication is based on time, either explicitly or implicitly. Without time how would you describe how to meet up with someone (you would only have "place")?

Essentially, its a grand numerical measurement system of sorts that helps in terms of successfully cooperating in a given civil society. If we never created time and just let things "be", we might've been living in a much more peaceful earth.

Thats my perception/belief of what time is.
