Time & its passing

 

How often do you think about time?

When you are late for work maybe or late for a date.  When you are bored, but you cannot leave yet.  Perhaps, you might think about time on the last day of your vacation or a cruise or the last hour of a party or the last time you will see someone.

There are instances that force us to think about time but outside of those influences we seldom, if ever think about TIME and the PASSING OF TIME.

But the fact remains, our lives constantly are revolving and evolving around time and once time is gone, you can never get it back.

What happened to you a minute ago or a second ago is GONE FOREVER.

When we are young, we usually think TIME moves too slow and as we get older and older, we perceive that TIME moves too fast.

Our entire transportation system is predicated on shortening time.

• walking
• riding in a wagon
• riding an animal
• riding in a train
• riding in a car
• riding in an airplane
• riding in a jet

When all is said and done and get to that age where we can retire, we wonder where all the time went - how fast our lives passed by - wishing we could do it all again - the changes we would make - the mistakes we would not make...

This happens to most of us and when we trying to pass that knowledge on to young people, they look at us as if we have our heads up our asses.  They believe very little, if anything, regarding what we have tried to share.

All of this was told to me and I ignored it, just like you are ignoring me.
