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.

I read this really interesting essay about people trying to build clocks measuring natural time such as the time of trees etc.

And referring to how people without clocks used other signposts often lived more in sync with their surroundings.

On the topic of linearity there's some esoteric books that'd question that arguing more for circularity. Also of course "Arrival" or the shorty story it's based on by Ted Chiang : story of your life.
