You mean Satan? Darlin' you are in the wrong place here. But let me talk along a bit.

So, time is made up by Man, so much is true. *We* invented time as a way of measure things we need/want/would like to do. It is also very convenient to let us know when we *agreed* to meet someone, or when exactly we *agreed* to be some place, or do something.

Time is a tool we use so we can keep our agreements. Nothing more, and nothing less. Time only controls us if we let it control us. But *we*, mankind, are the ones who invented time for our own convience, and we control time.

Also, Time/Clock is NOT per se tied to money. If I agree to meet one of my friends at a given time, than that time does not, for me, have ANY relation to money. Neither does it order me to get up at a certain time, it does not order me when I have to leave. I have agreed to get up at that time, I have agreed to leave at that time, it are all choices consciously made by *me*, not by the Clock. The Clock does not decide for me what I'm gonna do, *I* decide. I merely use it as a tool, to decide what I'm gonna do when and how, and for how long.

Btw> I'm not afraid of death at all. It is a part of the circle of life, and nothing is lost, all is recycled, and so is the energy that is *me*. I will be reborn again, in one form or another. I do not need to fear death, for it will only mean a new experience. To quote Albus Dumbledore, on of the wisest men I know off (although, you know, he's kind of a fictional character. but who cares anyway?): "To the well-organised mind, death is but the next great adventure".
I also do not believe in Satan, and therefor he cannot *deceive* people, and he cannot want to take us away from good things, and God and heaven and all.

Time/Clock is a machine that just is. It is neither good nor evil, it is the way it is USED that can be good or evil, but the machine itself just IS.

Blessings,
Romy
