Time; A Gentle Reminder

 If you are lacking a 1000 rupees you can call a friend or someone else and ask him or her “Da send me a 1000 rupees if you have “..and imagine what can we do if we lack time…and to whom you can ask atleast for a second as a debt..And thus discussing the ESSENCE OF TIME!

Time is a complex and multifaceted concept, influencing every aspect of our lives. From ancient concepts to modern digital clocks, from philosophical debates to cultural rituals, time remains a central theme in human existence. By understanding and embracing the essence of time, we can learn to live more fully and appreciate each moment. 

I compare time to a teacher, a very strict but patient and wise teacher who is imparting lessons with each tick of the clock. In every tick, in every tock, time tells a story—a narrative of growth, of change, of the inexorable march toward the future. It is the canvas upon which we paint our lives, the rhythm to which we dance, the silent song that underlies every moment. Embrace it, cherish it, for it is the most precious gift we possess.

And in a psychological perspective I diagnose the time having multiple personality disorder..because it shifts into different faces..for example, As the sun ascends, time accelerates, In the morning light, time feels abundant, a fresh promise waiting to unfold. But by afternoon, time takes on a different hue. The pace slows, and the weight of the day settles in. And as night falls, time softens into a lullaby, a gentle cadence that soothes and restores. Dreams weave through the fabric of sleep, each a fleeting yet profound encounter with our deepest selves. Here, time is a healer, stitching together the fragments of our days into a coherent whole.

Apart from the comparisons and philosophies..I request you to answer the question that how many times you have thought about going back to a particular life stage.. or how many times you have felt regret about wasting your time..listen friends; try to run with your time,because it will never wait for you. And we know time is the root and head for everything..and you also have an expiration date, unfortunately or fortunately which is unknown.

I recall the theory of the popular Erik Erikson; in his theory of psychosocial development he mentioned 8 stages of human development in which the last one is “integrity vs despair (at old age)it explains the extent of satisfaction a man has in his life when he looks back into his entire life. I recommend my dears to use this theory everyday in your life..just turn back and analyse how you used your time today..rate your satisfaction..and thus starts the first step to improve the quality of life.
