We, as humans, are undeniably addicted to the time. We feel it, we sense it as it flows through our body and our soul. But why we feel it as a fundamental and inseparable something from us, even inseparable from nature? The causality does not require time as an individual factor, but we still feel the time, and we feel we are part of it. Why?

The time is the chain of events, events that happened before. Nature does not need the time to work, causality does the job. Because causality, nature does not need to remember states earlier than the current states. Nature does not need time, and because that, does not need memory.

However, we, the human have memory. It needs for us to be successful in nature, the evolution developed this necessity for us. And because we have memory, we created the concept, we have time. Memory needed for the time to exist, there is no time without memory. A creature with no memory cannot have time either, it lives in the present only. We have time, we invented it because we have memory. We are capable of remembering events that happened before, and we are capable of anticipating events in the future based on our experiences residing in our memory. We have past and future, we have the concept of the time. We feel it, we sense it, we are part of it. We need it, and we use it to describe our world. Even our whole natural world, the universe. We describe the universe with our invention: with time.
