Did one of your pets ever die on you? You don't need clocks to suffer the consequences of time.
I think you are conflating time itself and measuring it (clocks).
- pessimizer 5y agoI think you're conflating time and the death of pets. Time doesn't kill pets, we use the death of pets to mark time (like clocks.) edit: My cat died. Now, I can say that I moved house after my cat died, that I got my car before my cat died, or that I met Bill around the time my cat died. Dead pets create time.
- fourseventy 5y agoYes time kills pets...
- pessimizer 5y agoNo, a complex set of decay processes kills pets; time doesn't do anything. We label things that happen with time to organize causes and effects. You might as well say that time does everything, but that's mistaking the way you keep track of a thing with the thing itself. Time typed this comment.

- podgaj 5y agoThe moment you say the cat is "alive" you create time and you also start killing your cat. In Buddhism there is no birth, no death. Both are illusions.
