Chapter 24 talks about time and how there’s two versions of it. Time in a mechanical sense that chugs forward at a steady pace and time as we perceive it where it acts as a feeling that flows.
The people that passively perceive it as a feeling have this idea that time is a heavy weight when you’re troubled, or a light breeze when things seem perfect, it’s a constant flow that works against them. When things are rough the days get long and the years pass by in a moment. These people live for moments, and everything in between is pointless. Other people, see time as a strict guideline for how to live. Wake up at 6:30, eat, go to work by 8, eat lunch at 12, leave at 4, and watch the same T.V shows over and over from 5 till you pass out. They are aware of time so much that nothing else is as ever present. Life is lived only for death and every great feeling in life is just a mix of chemicals.
(this kind of writing reminded me of my favorite album Because The Internet)
