With TIME, you cannot stay where you are. You are always on the move, and much as we might often want otherwise, there is no stopping time. Perhaps time should be also be considered the most democratic of properties. Everyone has it. Rich or poor, famous or not, we all run by the same clock.
Time is the great unifying factor for humanity.
It draws us all together. Almost all of the inhabitants of Earth are aware of the turning of the year 2000. It is, in a sense, the biggest celebration ever held on the planet. More people are celebrating it than any other event in time so far. It is almost as though all of humanity had been invited to this celebration - and most of them had showed up.
