Go With The Flow

What is time is an abstract question Vs an absolute since to some, time is limited, it's precious, it's money, it's freedom or can seem like nothing at all. Western society experiences time in a linear way so being in time has an exactness as does being late but in South East Asia, the Philippines and no doubt many other cultures time is different, even circular. To set a time is more flexible Vs exact and can be nerve racking for those who are set in keeping time or as efficient and value a schedule, even other people's time as to not keep others waiting so to be in time because to not be in time or to not show up at all is deemed as not valuing another person's time, most especially when a time has been set. Going with the flow takes on a different meaning when experiencing time as like a rolling wheel Vs a clock set on a linear time frame. Thought like, I guess he isn't coming today so maybe tomorrow becomes acceptable Vs enraging so go with the flow or find yourself lacking in humility. somehow things get done. if not today there is always tomorrow or the next. Don't sweat it, accept what is not in your control and go with the flow, be like water.
