Time can be considered to be a measure in which events can be put in the order of past, present and future. If you think about it, time can have an effect on our lives and how we live it. If an individual thinks of the past, he or she may feel that the event is taking place, however the only thing taking place at that specific time is the present. As you may have noticed now, thinking about the previous sentences would be the past, and the past is always fixed.
On the other hand, future is wide open and may include any sorts of events that an individual plans, or actions that he decides to take. Future can be easily manipulated, and changed into the form of being a part of the present. Arguably, time can overall change upcoming events and may also play a huge part in the events taking place in the present, which will later on be remembered as the past.

For example, consider the butterfly effect and how easily events can be influenced by time or actions. Say a woman is crossing the street at 11:15am and a car hit her at that specific given time period. What if the woman accepted that cup of coffee offered by her colleague, well, possibly she would have not crossed the road at that time, and the car would have passed earlier. Also if you take in consideration the situation that the driver was in, maybe also time would have had an influence on the event. Say that the driver woke up to his alarm that he set on 11:00am sharp, then he would have taken another route, which is considered to be longer but faster in terms of traffic. So can we say that if the alarm went off on time, then the the car would have not hit her?
