Does time flow forward or is the passage of time an illusion?

Yes, time was created or rather invented out of illusion. It was made to be going forward as the earth revolves around the sun from East to West. The sun keeps on rising and set. That helps in counting time. Longtime enough, people didn’t know about the clock or the watches. But they had their ways counting time eg use of shadow and the sand glasses. That’s what I know.
