"Give time to civilization, not time to civilization." is an aphorism that comes from looking back at the great trough period after the explosion of human technology. It comes from Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem". This sentence is modified from "Give time life, rather than life time." A very meaningful sentence. Time requires civilization, and civilization also needs time, but we should not kill the value of civilization itself for the sake of its continuation. Pay attention to the present moment and pay attention to what you are experiencing. Change or suppression may last longer, but will you still be yourself after change and suppression?
