Summary/Abstract: The course of time is experienced by observing both natural phenomena and the changing events. Time is projected in the human mind not only as an abstract scale where each event is located in its own place in a linear sequence. Events and processes belonging to the past, the present and the future are simultaneously present there. Their realization at a given place in this scale is thought of as something desired since each event occurs at the necessary moment. Any other moment in time is considered unsuitable: it is too early or too late.
