View submission: Does time really exist?
Thanks for your answer! I like the idea that what matters is not whether time exists, but how useful it is. I think realizing this makes it easier to let go of the past and not worry too much about the future. If time is more of a tool than an objective reality, maybe it just helps us navigate life. How do you personally feel about this? Does this perspective help you in your daily life?
Edit: I just realized that I might be too focused on asking why things are the way they are, rather than what for and how they work. I guess I’m having some kind of existential crisis haha.

It’s good to question why things are the way they are. It shows you have an active mind that is interested in learning about things most people never think to question.

Maybe not too much for time specifically, but I tend to look at most things this way. It's a nice way to put yourself in control of things. You can't know everything, you can't control the nature of most things, but you can look for some utility that's accessible (whether practically, intellectually or emotionally) and focus on applying that.
