"Time = Money" .<BR/><BR/>But the power of those words / equation has been immense and in the long run destructive. It's power comes from the fertile ground of wanting more money and seeing that as a way "out." But the "out" is more a trap than a trapdoor to freedom.<BR/><BR/>I totally agree that the equation, by focusing our attention on the monetary value of time, ultimately marginalises the experience of the moment in time.<BR/><BR/>TimTim Hodgenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15237942768894057727noreply@blogger.com
