Is it just because of the language that we inherited the idea - Time flows. Time obviously does not flow. But thinking otherwise is so damn difficult. Is 'Live in the present', which is a poetic expression, responsible for it? Seeing time as a line, where past is on left and future is on right, is such a common mental model when we think of 'passing' of time.

Language does seem to affect how we perceive the passage of time, though we're not certain how much it affects it. Different languages frame it differently, but it's hard to study the subjective experience of time across cultures.

I understand 3-4 languages and the way we talk about time in all of them is more or less the same. Will love to know a different way of talking about time in some languages. ♥️♥️
