I'm a fan of viewing time as a construct our minds make up, although I do believe we each have an intrinsic ability to "tell time" in a very useful sense. Nevertheless, the deeper analysis we give to time here in the west is no doubt due at least in part to language.
Of course, the western perspective makes sense to me: we all only get a limited amount of time in our lives to do the things we want to do, so time is my main currency.
Thanks for the review! I hope my analysis of time from a Western perspective didn't come off as presumptuous. Although not originally from the west, I grew up in a western culture myself and have pretty much the same perspective on time, i.e., a linear persective :)
Very thorny stuff here! I like it.
