    I haven't talked to anyone who can do this, can you?

    Describe time as if you are explaining it to someone who has no concept of what it is and has never experienced time before.

    Time is an essential part of the measuring system used to sequence events, to compare the durations of events and the intervals between them, and to quantify the motions of objects.

    Time is a fixed progression of existence.

    Much like RoxSquad said, A way to measure the space in which events take place.

    Time is something I am never on...

    In addition, if you consistently arrive after it, YDS might just fire you.

    Its very hard to describe time. There are some physicists that will argue that there is no such thing as time, that it is an illusion. We experience what we call time. We see a progression of events, but that can be relative.

    What is time?
    Is it the autumn leaves that change?
    Or the snow that floats from the sky?

    What is Time?
    Is it the air we breathe?
    Or the wings that teach
    The new born bird to fly?

    Who can tell?
    I don’t know.
    Will we change?
    Will we grow?

    What is time?
    Is it eternity
    In heaven?
    Or just a hope for peace on earth?

    Where’s the time?
    Gone in a blink of an eye.
    But with every blink
    a birth.

    We live.
    We learn.
    We love
    In time.
    We give.
    We yearn.
    We grow

    In time.

    Time for change.
    It's time to care.
    It'’s not too late.
    Don’t despair.
    Reach inside your heart

    To find the joy and love
    To share with all mankind.
    For all we know

    All we have
    Is time.

    When the alarm clock goes off and I cuss really, really loud? I then do it again 8 minutes later, then 7 minutes later, then I'm all "damnit, I have to get up now".

    Yeah, not a fan of time. It should give me more of it.

    It is something that stops before the hammer.
