this might sound weird, but i look at it this way.

there are two things that are important to think about here.

a) The meeting which is a fixed milestone or event,
and
b) Time - which is movable resource.

Of these, the most important thing isnt the meeting really because it is just an event that does not influence any outcomes, but the time.

You need to assume that time is a person or entity.

Lets assume that the current time is 12pm and time for the meeting was changed from 1pm to 12:30pm, then time came closer to me (assuming that time the 'person' walked a step towards me).

if it was pushed back to 1:30pm, it would take a step back away from me.


this makes perfect sense to me, and that the way i see it..but maybe it makes sense only to me??? it does sound weird now that ive re-read it but its crystal clear in my head.
