Hmmm, interesting topic indeed. To me time is almost a creature.
Time is more like a sequence of events and the speed that they go at.
The speed is not determined by myself or anyone else except time. Time may have been created by morality, but like all things that are strongly believed in, eventually it becomes fact. Like some who have created a reality for themselves the trust lies not in absolute but the direction that you see it from. Ah yes, interesting things to ponder indeed. To me time is almost a creature.
