As the ball dropped in Times Square, sending the United States into the year 2000, everyone knew exactly what time it was.
Time becomes more important with the anticipation of a big event.
It can seem relevant while counting down to the New Year, anxiously awaiting Christmas morning when you were five or while you are screaming at the slow car ahead of you. In those instances, every second is important. No one wanted to miss the dawn of the millennium because he or she was simply not paying attention. Lately, however, Ihave been struck with some differing ideas about time. Everyone has only a certain allotment of time in which to live.
