<p>
Our obsession with Chronos time—scheduling every minute, optimizing productivity, racing against
deadlines—has created an epidemic of burnout and disconnection. We've lost touch with the natural rhythms
that governed human life for millennia.
</p>
<p>
Indigenous cultures worldwide have always lived in Kairos time, following the seasons, the moon, and the
natural cycles of the land. They plant when the earth is ready, harvest when the crops are ripe, and rest
when darkness falls.
</p>
<p className="font-semibold text-primary">
The future isn't about abandoning time entirely—it's about using less Chronos and more Kairos. It's about
remembering that not everything that matters can be measured, and that the most important moments in life
happen in their own time.
