TIME

TIME

What is time? Some says time is a great healer. Some says it is a test. The test of time is to capture the essence of life in its embraces. Time is the father of truth, and the experience is the mother of all things.

Grand Master Oogway in Kung Fu Panda once say, ‘Don’t be too concerned with what was and what will be. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called present.’ Likewise as Captain Jean-Luc Picard’s opinion about it. Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.

Righto!

The past is gone. It’s done! But it’s a good hiding place; it’s always there, waiting for us to pick up where we left off and know that nothing’s changed since the last time. We don’t have to share it in order to enjoy its beauty or to doom in its ugliness.

The present is demands to be shared. There’s an emptiness in walking through each day without footsteps to match yours, and thoughts to match and challenge yours. This is the most important part in time. The essence of it. We need to share it with the ones whose present will enriches our life, who means something in this stretchs of 'today'!

There’s no future. Nobody can guarantee the future. It’s God’s mystery. The best we can do is size up the chances, calculate the risks involved, estimate our ability to deal with them and then make our plan with confidence. When it comes.

Well, to be frank, time is just a word. But what it implied is all that matter. As I wrote before, time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve and too short for those who rejoice. But for those who love, time is eternity. I wish that I could have that kind of eternity. :)
