The play starts at a certain time, the movies start at a time, dinner reservations are made for a certain time. You can chose to ignore the time, or go with the rest of the civilized world. I would guess the stone age tribes in the jungle use some made up local time and that works for them because they are not invited to the stage play scheduled to start at 9:00 PM.
Typical anxiety driven defense mechanism of the anally fixated in trying to justify why they have to be on time all the time. This shows rigidity in thinking, of being stuck in the box.
