You are right. It really doesn't matter because a vast majority of people go about their lives without giving time a thought. They are aware of past events or happenings to themselves and they, for the most part, are aware they have a future.

But, IMHO, time is just a concept that mankind has and us using to create order in their lives. For instance, trains need time schedules to avoid collisions. i.e. Most of the train collisions of the 19th century was probably due to the lack of standardized time which allowed confusion and trains running in opposite directions on the same track.

I have tried to explain to people that while we were talking that as soon as the words came out of my mouth, they were in the past. I was trying to illustrate that the present is only a moment before it, almost instantly, moves into the past and the future, almost immediately, moves into the present, for a moment, before that too moves into the past.

Confusing, isn't it?

Eternity is but a moment...
