A thought, while writing about Judaism:
We allow inanimate, fixed objects like the sun and mood to fix our time and our celebrations, especially in Judaism. Think about that next time you are waiting for Shabbat to end (so you can do Havdallah) or waiting to eat after fasting (like I will do tomorrow for Ta'anit Esther).
This doesn't mean we always hold by it, but I wonder what that means? Why do we feel so tied to these beliefs or the things that time determines for us?
