In the beginning was Infinity.
Men and women could not comprehend infinity.
So within their imaginations they invented the "box."
The box divided night and day.
Eventually, night and day were divided into
Days, hours, minutes.

They needed more boxes.

The divisions of Infinity became commodities.
Time was given value, thus bought and sold,
Not as a commodity in itself,
But as compensation for people to do things
They would not ordinarily do
At the times other people wanted them done.

They needed more and more boxes...
...and more
....and more.

Men and women imagined beginnings and endings
But not Infinity.

This was the first paradox.
