To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Other people may have unlimited time. They certainly act that way, since they want to waste a great deal of your time. However, unlike your friends, your time is definitely limited.
Actually, the time of any individual time is cut short at a certain point. You don't know what that will happen, but your end is rushing closer and closer, at a terrifying pace.
Perhaps if people were aware of their time limitations in advance, they would make the most of their remaining time. However, we don't know.
We don't don't know how long we will live, so we assume that it will be a long time. We feel that we have unlimited time, so we can put off some really important issues until tomorrow.
Time does seem to stretch into infinity. It is different from the three fixed and measurable dimensions of height, depth, and width.
People can observe the limits of the first three dimensions. Time cannot be observed, so some people assume that it has no limits.
They are wrong.
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
- Macbeth V, v, 19
