(Does that sound correct?)

1. Time isn't simply "Time"

The more common phrases you hear about "Time", would be like, "time can wash away all your pain", "time can heal wounds"...etc. But has anyone ever thought of the significance?

I can no longer recall the 1st time I felt pain, happiness, sadness, hatred or even anger. Who is to be blamed?
At the same time, I tink i can still remember the most recent occasion i felt those emotions, but I'm quite sure time will take care of those memories too, soon enough.

2. Sneaky Time

In terms of the minutes and hours that go by, you can count them. But as time goes by, you lose track of them. Very often, you tend to forget "how long ago something happened". Thats how elusive time is.

3. Time waits for no one

Parents or seniors will always tell you, once time is gone, you cant get it back. Thats exactly how powerful time is. For everything else in the world, if you have the correct skill or equipment, you can capture it. Even light.

Time makes you regret silly decisions you made in folly. By the time you realise your mistake, its usually too late. You cant help but feel that time is there, to mock your disablility to change history.

4. I think Time is God

In more ways than we realise, time doesnt seem that far from godhood. To a very large extent, time chronicles the happenings around the entire universe, every single nano-second of it.

Here we are, bounded to the perpetual "rat-race" of mankind, striving for all forms of excellence. At times, we fall short of targets, fail our objectives, and feel dejected and disappointed. But time is here to soothe those unhappiness memories. Given enuff "time", we'd get over it.

5. What if there was no time?

Unimaginable. Utter void.
You'd lose all meaning in life. Completing assignments within a deadline, say 1 month, gives us the typical sense of achievement, but what achievement would that be if you had an eternity to pursue it?

The world will plunge into a state of stasis. Whatever matter associated with timeliness would suddenly lose their purpose. Metals stop rusting, matter stops decomposing, people stop... dying. Man, thats scary. Hell, I dont even know if life can go on, literally.

6. In the end...

We all need time. We need time to keep track of whats happening, we need time to feel. Unfeeling it maybe, time is omni-present. Whether you are rushing to save a live, or rushing to rob a bank, time is impartial, and it juz goes on and on.

Embrace time. Don't fight it. Theres a reason why we must always be on time.
