Time is of the Essence
"I'm late, I'm late..." - White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland.
The White Rabbit shares a similar opposition with the rest of us... man vs. time. It is an opposition that man attempts to overcome every day. We find ourselves always trying to "find time" to do this or that, or trying to make up for "lost time." To the design student the opposition of time is all too familiar. There is never enough. Time is money and everyone is looking to get richer… quicker.
As usual man does all it can to overcome opposition and time is no exception.
We drive in cars and fly in airplanes in order to get places faster. We call or email each other rather than visiting or writing and we don’t even have to be at home to do so. We purchase just about anything we want online and have it delivered right to our front door. We have fast food so we can eat on the run. We call ahead or make reservations so we don’t have to wait in lines. We use credit cards instead of having to take cash out. The list of resolutions can go on and on; however, the one thing man cannot do to resolve the opposition of time is buy more than each one is given in life… walk and don't run through it, spend it wisely.
