If the competitive society has exclusive tendencies each competitor for time tends to demand an exclusive claim upon one's attention--- and implicitly promises human fulfillment if exclusive rights to one's time is granted. Rarely do members of an exclusive-competitive society experience encouragement to express themselves in the eternal-now of intimate personal relationships and fulfill themselves in balanced activities which are expressive of their unique integrity. Thus members of an exclusive-competitive society experience time as a battleground of conflict between competing claimants upon their time---rather than as a relational matrix within which they express/fulfill their unique selves/potentials. The management of time thus becomes a technical task, rather than being an affective opportunity for self expression. The self is confronted with the task of balancing mutually exclusive claims against each other. The self is then not the natural development of internal intuitions, instincts, insights, desires, feelings, inclinations, and potentialities in spontaneously chosen personal relationships. The competitive society makes claims upon each member's time. The competitive society which tends to be exclusive naturally tends to be a possessive society--- concerned with definitions of who has the right to control the use/abuse of objects, people, ecosystems, natural resources, air, land, water, inventions, ideas. By natural extension the possessive society occasions the notion of the possession of rights to people's time---the right to control future fragments of a person's time. In this way people become fragmented and unable to develop their integrity within the eternal now's of spontaneous relationships. The conception of time and of the nature of being human are interwoven strands of a culture. Each holds the other in it's place. When time is viewed mathematically as a measurable/possessable quantity people are perceived as participants in patterns of cause and effect. However, when time is experienced as the eternal now of fulfilling relationships the participants and the patterns of cause and effect are not the central elements of existential reality.
