Shall we value TIME?
Usually, when you ask a person "what do you value most?" It is not uncommon for him to answer immediately the word "money". But money is not something which everyone has, and I think money, which is not the most valuable thing, is an evil : Is it the root of all evils?. Some people loathe being poor especially the poor, for without money they are so unhappy. There are people who, like myself, think that "time" is more valuable than money. It is shared among all, whether rich or poor, good or bad, we all have equal amount of "time," and nobody can say that he does not have time.
What is time? There has never been a definition for it. It is just one of those things which we accept as we grow older. Our parents never tried to explain it to us. That would prove more than a herculean task for time is something abstract. Despite this, from our very early childhood days, the value of time has been constantly drummed into our minds by our parents, teachers and various other people with our interest at heart.
We have only a short period of life in which to achieve our hopes, aims and aspirations. Therefore we must make use of every second of it wisely. Often in newspapers and magazines, one reads of people who have achieved success despite great odds. These articles articles never fail to mention that these famous men are what they are because they worked very hard in the early years of their lives, making the most of every minute of their time.
"Time and tide wait for no man" is very true. One cannot stop time or recover time or even buy it at any price. Men may come, and men may go but time goes on forever. Time, once passed, is lost forever. Science with all its progress, has not been able to do anything about it. Diseases have been conquered, satellites and rockets have been launched, but nothing has been done about time. No one has been able to travel back through time.
Shakespeare remarks, "Time tests all things. Some he delights and others fear him; he brings gladness to the good, and fear of consequences to those that have done evil; he makes mistaken ideas to grow and flourish is some cases, and in others he clears up errors." Hence, the simplest definition is that time is a creator and destroyer. To sum up, Time is abstract and at the same time omnipotent. He has been in existence even before creation. Time has no age, no limit. In other words "Time" is eternal.
And soon we shall be making a SHIFT with TIME..........
