Jealousy has been one of the deepest tendencies in this mind since young. There was always comparison — me and the other person, who is better, who is ahead. During high school, I remember constantly comparing results with my best friend. In some subjects she would come first, and I would come second, and in others it would be the opposite.

In our daily lives, we move within a conceptual world where time appears like a rigid container. We treat it as something to be spent, saved or lost. It structures our days and orders our lives—giving rise to an illusion of a solid past we carry and a solid future we anticipate or fear.
