how much time do we really have

For TIME 2/b meaningful everyone has to come to a consensus about what time really means!
The Tongans long ago decided TIME was meaningless or meaning less and less. They like to have a GOOD time, they all-ways know when it's TIME to eat but as for BEING on time ...
NO such thing exists. SO over the years ....APPOINTED TIME ... like; when does an event start or even what day does an event take place ... has become a cultural interpolation. It's E/Z to be frustrated until after you have done it a few times. In the same way that anything is hard @ first , until you have done it a few times.
Well it soon becomes self evident that NO ONE; except maybe plangis (white people) really care about TIME @ all.
It's OK if you show up late or never come @ all.... because Tongans understand that you never did know what TIME it was to begin with. So try future planing or as we are all fond of ... getting closure ... it's not gonna happen and if it does ... well it's about TIME or NOT time !!!!!
