Sir, – Because mankind initiated the concept of time, and having decided that this method of naming, measuring and graduating change and repetition in nature was useful, humanity now assumes there are beginnings and endings to everything.
This concept of certain order and inevitability has instilled, in much of mankind, an inability to accept the unmeasurable and a preference for cold, fixed ideas over the visible and tangible magic of existence, like childhood, music, poetry, theatre, myth and imagination, all best experienced without a calculator or time-piece. Yours, etc,
