Accounting everything in life to time.

I didn’t know which other flair to use and it is in fact me being I am open to suggestions or discussions on this.

It’s as the title suggests. I mean I have come across so many people associating everything with time. Like by the age of 25 you’re supposed to be making a good living, by 30 you should have a kid, by 60 you should retire, it’s been 1 year since so and so person passed away you should stop grieving now, by 23 you should have a job, by 26 you should be married, you’re learning so and so skill for 1 year now you should be a pro, you’re going to the gym for 6 months you should be able to do a push up, you’re dating this person for 7 months that’s too soon to get married, it’s been 6 months since you broke up you should be fine now, you’re living with this person 3 years now that’s basically already married and blah blah blah. The list goes on but I guess you get my point.

Why do we associate everything with time?!

I mean humans are literally the only species that does this. So and so age and certain amount of time. It makes sense when we use time in terms of brain development like by so and so age a kid knows colors and shapes and walking and sleep schedules and all these. But that’s not true (brain development) when we talk about being with a person or getting married or “settling down” or buying a house or being with someone.
