磨墨知590-2. 時間とは何か

　人生では言葉の定義で生き様が変わる。言葉をどのように解釈して行動に移すのか、それによって人生の歩き方が変わる。解釈の仕方は国や民族の人生観そのものである。人生をつまらないものと定義すれば、つまらない人生を送る。価値あるものと定義すれば、価値を作るための生き方をする。それ故、時間を「量」と捉えるか、「命」と捉えるかでは、生き様に大きな差が出るはずである。

　辞書での解説とは、辞書を作った各編集者の解釈にすぎない。解釈が同じでないことは下記を見れば一目瞭然である。辞書の定義は、あくまで編集者の個人的見解である。自分の人生を創る為に、自分で時間の定義をしよう。私の定義は下記、

「時間とは与えられた命である。私の辞書に「量」の意味はない。」
