The Count To Infinity - v12

The best days are those that fly!

Whenever I try to get a good grasp on the moment I always realize that our western dependance on the clock is very much hindering. There are many civilizations that don't rely on time measurement who still end up doing fine and end up a lot happier, too.

I don't necessarily mind the days that fly by it's just that I often feel like I wasted them by not really doing anything in particular =P

You mean, tribes that are lost in the forest in Africa or the rainforest?
Well, I don't envy them, they live hard, unstable and precarious lives and I wouldn't assume they are happier ^^"
I'd say we depend on the clock because we are trying to fit too many things in a same day!

I guess?
I kinda got inspired by people talking about how they have experimented with these types of lifestyles (not relying on the clock, for example). They seemed to have made some good experiences with it. Though, it also needs to be stated that they're also self-employed. They don't need to obey to people's rules other than themselves most of the time. ^^"

You could also just use Hypnosis to put someone to sleep and count on their fingers instead.

Fun fact: I've tried to get hypnotized and it didn't work on me ^^"

As far as I understand, it is not a magic thing, but rather, the target is "feeling" so much social pressure to "obey" the hypnotist that their brain is basically obeying without question. That's why it doesn't work on everyone, not everyone feels so much pressure.

I'm probably seen as a huge jerk irl for not wanting to follow certain traditions. Like throwing birthday parties. Why should I throw money at people I don't like so they can eat and drink on my behalf if I don't even like being alife, let alone had a birthday. And why do I need to buy Christmas presents for people I only meet like once or twice a year?
