Out Of Time -
We treat time like a currency, convinced that if we budget correctly, we can "save" it. We multitask to buy ourselves an extra hour, only to spend that hour recovering from the exhaustion of the effort. But time is not a commodity; it is a solvent. It dissolves the very things we try to preserve. The irony of modern life is that the more "time-saving" technology we invent, the more hurried we feel.
