SYMBOLIC CONCEPT OF TIME

WE TELL TIME BY RELYING ON THE SHORT AND LONG HAND ON NUMBERS ON THE CLOCK
WE CHARACTERIZE SPACE BY MEASURING USING NUMBERS ON RULER
WE ALSO MEASURE SPEED, VELOCITY, CAPACITY, WEIGHT, AGE, HEIGHT, PRESSURE, INTELLIGENCE, AND EVEN SPACE WITH NUMBER.
THIS IS ONE WAY OF USING SYMBOLS OF MEASURE BY USING NUMERIC VALUE. THIS IS LIKE USING FUEL GAUGE IN A CAR, USING NUMBER AND STICK TO TELL FUEL IN THE TANK.

EMOTION IS ANOTHER WAY OF MEASURING VALUE. EMOTION IS NATURAL AND RAW WAY OF MEASURING VALUE. LIKE A LIGHT ON AND OFF MEASURING FUEL ON A MACHINE. IT IS TWO VALUE ORIENTATION, BLACK AND WHITE.

MAP IS ANOTHER WAY OF MEASURING SPACE. MAP CAN BE ANALOGUE AND DIGITAL.

LANGUAGE IS THE MOST COMPLICATED TOOL TO CHARACTERIZE REALITY. WITH LANGUAGE WE COMPLEMENT OUR SENSES EXPERIENCE. WITH LANGUAGE WE ARE ABLE TO CONCEPTUALIZE ABSENT/ABSTRACT EXPERIENCE OF ABSENT OBJECTS OR PRESENT OBJECTS, SUCH AS PAST/FUTURE, ABSENT OBJECTS, SYSTEM, RELATIONSHIP, STRUCTURE, BEHIND THE APPEARANCE, HISTORY, PREDICTED FUTURE. WE RELY ON THE LANGUAGE WITHOUT QUESTIONING THE ACCURACY SOMETIMES. WE RELY ON THE LANGUAGE AND IGNORING THE REALITY THAT LANGUAGE REPRESENT.
