Time Moving Quickly….Post 7
“Lost time is never found again.” — Benjamin Franklin
Doesn’t it seem like time nowadays is moving by rather quickly? A bit more than ever before? Or at least to me it does. Hours passing by like minutes, minutes passing by like seconds, and seconds well, blink and their gone.
The sun and moon are both out at the same time as well, like time on both sides of the luminaries are merging together somehow. More now than ever before. Time is precious but also forward moving only. We cannot reverse it, pause it, or acquire any more of it. Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. That is why time is too vital to life and existence, to ever take it for granted.
“Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.” — Theophrastus
I remember growing up with time running relatively slow, certainly much slower than now. We had more time on our hands back then, or at least it felt this way. But now, it moves with the quickness and not particularly in a good way. If we truly look around and pay close attention, this is not hard to notice. Not opinion here, but rather a mere fact of something that is actually happening around us all.
And no, we don’t have a time traveling Delorean to go back and forth either lol. Many of us over our lifetime have stated, if I could go back and change this, or I regret this, or if I had made this decision or that decision, yeah we’ve all been there and said that.
But there is no time like the present, and the present is a gift. We cannot go back in time and change anything, no skip ahead either. All the time in the world and universe is happening right here and right now. We have to be present in our lives, for the past is gone and the future hasn’t arrived yet.
“Time and tide wait for no man.” — Geoffrey Chaucer
And because time is moving so quickly now, let’s make the most of it and life today. For tomorrow is not promised, so be present because it’s a gift, and again the only real time we truly have, is currently right here, right now.
