Time
Posted by Mystery Book on September 25, 2008
What is time? Is it a constant or does it vary? For someone suffering, time seems to pass slowly but to someone busy, time flies. Time stretches and expands differently for everyone and that movement can be almost chaotic in nature but the clock continues to tick at the same rate.
We all have a finite amount of time that we like to call our life. The choices we make affect the outcome of how we perceive time. Not considering the chance of an accident, our current lifespan may be 70 years roughly divided into the following categories.
sleep 1/3 of the time
work or study 1/3 of the time (slightly higher if commuting but lower if you exclude weekends)
Basic chores like brushing, toilet, bathing, eating (and perhaps cooking) take up 1/6 of the time
If you married and/or parent, then you also need to attend to your spouse and children
As a child or youth, we do not perceive death. As a young man we are looking to start a family, as a middle aged man we look after our children, when old we tend to our health.
What we are left with is way less than 1/10 of our time to do as we choose. Realize that your time is finite and precious and choose wisely what you do with the little time you have.
