Billy Pilgrim became unstuck in time. This was the reason he could travel into the past or the future, and every event in his life was set on an unchangeable track. The result of knowing what was to come created a depressing mood. Billy never attempted to prevent events in the future because they had always happened and will happen. This phenomenon that Billy experienced made me realize how important time is to humans. Without knowing the future we can expect new things and live in a state of anticipation for the future. The way time works is unknown to humans and that is what keeps us from becoming unstuck in time, always waiting to see what comes next.
