Where time sets a reality to passion

In a paradigm where clocks and the concept of time do not exist, I would live a different life, perhaps. A life of a dreamer, not wary of anything as lives around her speed frantically like cars on main roads.

I would drown myself in the passion for languages. Words, how breathtakingly beautiful they are. Syntax, the formation of sentences. Linguistics, the scientific study of human language. Among all components and subfields, I love words most.

However as I look deeper into words, the basic component of a language, I see another world. A world of usage, history, meanings, sounds, sentimental value, strength, combination, ability, flow and order. It comes down to words, principles, exceptions and systems. A lovely abstract thing.

I could treat words like humans as if they have a personality of their own. They talk, interact, function, work, feel and react. Some are opposites of each other and some are birds of the same feather.

If they are unable to live in that way and if they cease to exist, there would be a hollow vacuum within the language, or cease to function nor live at all. Then their personalities fade as if washed by the rain, and everything soon falls like old paint on a wall.

Time, perhaps is something placed into the world we live in to reduce entropy in our lives, to bounce us back to reality.

Then, in this reality we live in, where does my passion lie?

Science, where theoretically chemistry exists prior to the existence of biology and physics, is a world I subconsciously chose to be in. I took a biological take to science. Biology, the study of living organisms. In what way I view this field of science is similar to how I view the world of words.

Cells, the basic component of physical life or as we call the building blocks of an organism. But the building blocks of cells are elements. Chemical reactions on a cellular level.

Hence the passion for the collaboration between biology and chemistry.

To me, linguistics and biochemistry are science, both down to the building blocks, system and order. But biochemistry is alive and has processes.

I guess this is how my brain has been wired to be.
