View upon time

When something happened in history is not of great importance. There is no common timeline or calendar.   If you write something that happened down, you put it in context. Like by naming under whose ruling it is, if someone was born or not, or before or after someone’s death.   Time is not something you measure.   That there should be words for a certain amount of days, and giving these groups names is nothing anyone considered.   The days go on, and how many they are is only of importance in situations like when traveling and you need to know when someone will arrive or how much to pack. And if you brew something, or if someone is sick.   Somewhere longer than 14-15 days, and it becomes ‟some time ago.”
