尝试想象如果我们不算时间，生活会是什么样。
您很可能不能。您知道您所在的一周中的一个月，每年和一天。在墙上或在汽车的仪表板上，有一个时钟。您有时间表，日历，时间吃或去看电影。
但是周围的时间计算被忽略了。鸟不晚。没有狗看着时钟。鹿不怕忘记生日。
只有人衡量时间。
只有男人告诉小时。
因此，人类会陷入瘫痪的恐惧，即没有生命遭受的痛苦：恐惧时时间已经用完了。
(Try to imagine what life would be like if we didn't count time. Most likely you can't. You know what month, year and day of the week you are in. On the wall, or on the dashboard of your car, there is a clock. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time to eat or go to the movies. But around you the counting of time is ignored. The birds are not late. No dogs looking at the clock. Deer are not afraid to forget birthdays. Only man measures time. Only the man tells the hours. And because of this, man suffers a paralyzing fear that no living being suffers from: The fear that time is running out.)

生命围绕时间的测量，这已成为人类生存不可或缺的一部分。我们不断意识到特定的月份，年和日，通常会咨询时钟和日历，以保留我们的时间表。这种按时固定决定了我们的例行程序，包括当我们吃或从事休闲活动（例如去看电影）时。
相比之下，自然世界没有这种关注。像鸟类和狗这样的动物不遵守时间限制，生活在当下，而不是担心截止日期或衰老。这种鲜明的差异突出了人类的独特方面：我们与时间的痴迷关系导致对其通过的普遍恐惧，这个概念在我们物种之外没有经历。
