Notebook: I’ve always thought that killing time is one of the most murderous things you can say about your own life. This isn’t just a pun; killing time means killing one of the most valuable things we have, even though we can’t do anything about it like we can with all priceless things. But it’s ridiculous to help time across the edge. It’s illegal. I needed to kill an hour. Is that what it boils down to, what we’re about? killing time in between episodes of supposedly less violent impulses? According to John Locke, private property is indistinguishable from one’s person, or at the very least, it is an extension of one’s person, much like a limb. I have been looking for this statement for a very long time. (I thought, when I was writing this, why not pose the question to Chat GPT? Thus, I did: Was it John Locke who made the analogy between one’s own limbs and private property? The frighteningly prompt and accurate response was as follows: Yes, that connection was drawn by John Locke. Locke makes the case that private property is a natural right that results from labor in his Second Treatise of Government (1689). When someone combines their hard work with something in the world, they make it their own, he famously remarked. He says, “Every man has a property in his own person,” equating private property to one’s own limbs to highlight this point. Only he has the right to do this. We could say that the labor of his hands and the labor of his body belong to him. The conversation continued: The premise is that a person has a right to the objects they have created or altered via their labor, just as they have ownership over their own body and limbs. It is a cornerstone of Locke’s theory of individual liberty and property rights. I believe the same is true of time. I was therefore pleased to read this morning that Hendrick van Loon’s The Arts contained one of his delectable asides, which justified my vanity and equally leaden pedantry: They were an extremely serious issue for the Greeks. Perhaps the most offensive phrase in the entire English language is that their plays and novels were not produced to provide people an opportunity to escape from themselves and to pass the time. First, the Greeks were wise enough to understand that the most valuable thing you have is time, which you lose when you waste it. Second of all, they don’t appear to have understood a spiritual phenomenon that is so significant to our own existence. I’m talking about what we term boredom. When we are young, boredom is a creative and meditative luxury that we are typically too arrogant to enjoy, and as we become older, the memory of missed possibilities turns into a bitter wine. We become participants in our own disappearance when we kill time.
