That's one big can of theoretical worms. I would say briefly that it's my view that time doesn't exist, that it is another abstraction used to make sense of a phenomena that minds can't comprehend. What we can be sure of is that change occurs, but no one has the faintest idea why things change. Humans slap a number on that concept of change so they can study it.
Things happen, that is true. Humans wished to study the things happening so they invented abstractions by which things happening could be quantified. This enabled the things happening to be standardised, contrasted and compared.
