Try to imagine a life without timekeeping.
You probably can't. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or in your house. You have a schedule, a calendar, an appointment, a time for dinner or a movie or whatever.
Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check his watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays.
Man alone measures time.
Man alone chimes the hour.
And because of this, Man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures.
A fear of time running out.
