Time
What is time actually? I got a little addicted recently and read a few interesting articles, watched documentaries and dug a little bit deeper into this topic. Those articles circled around questions like …
- Why do we measure time?
- Since when do we define our own time and don’t let nature define it through day and night anymore?
- How much value has time?
- Does time equal luck?
It quickly became quite interesting and complex, surely. But one thing that stuck with me is – even though it is, or might be obvious – how much value time really has.
When we are younger, we do not care much about time. We seem to have endless time and everything else seems more important, of more value, like money or traveling for example. But at some point we realise how precious time is.
Isn’t one of the best things in the world spending time with you granddad and grandmother? With your dad and your mum? You best friends during your time in school? Well, we often recognise this too late sadly. And where we might be able to earn money all our life, getting time back with people who are not here anymore is something we’ll never be able to achieve.
If you ask anyone, rich or poor, relationships – time with other – makes anyone happier than anything else. How much value time really has dawns on us sadly often only when we are old.
People of age never regret not having had more money or owned more valuable things and fancy cars. They regret not having had more time for certain things.
Time? Time is valuable.
