Time

(Edited)

Time is an inevitable progression into the future with the passing of present events into the past. Everything in life happens in accordance with time, there's time to be born and a time to die, a time for work and a time to rest, a time to plant and a time to reap that which was planted, etc. (Ecclesiastes 3:2). Our life is measured by time which progresses into day and night and into weeks and months. Time was given to humans so they could use it to bring closure to failure and success and that's why time remains one of the valuable assets to a man.

Time has the ability to heal what has been broken.This is possible as time is an inevitable progression into the future, with the passing of present events into the past. Mr. Adams, a blind man, wanted to know the number of years he'll live . So he decided to make a ticking clock to hear loudly how each seconds and minutes ticked. He started the construction and when he was about to finish, he heard the sad news of his son's death who died fighting as a soldier. Mr Adams became sad and wished the hands of time could be reversed where life started from the end down to the beginning until there was no existence. His grievance over his son's death made him change his initial plan and made the clock to tick anticlockwise so it could help him recall the memories of his son before the war. But that did not change what had happened, it only left a memory as time gone cannot be reversed.

People in the financial institutions regard money as time, because opportunity lost sometimes may never be recovered. Our situation in time determines the movement of time, in trouble, time is noticed to be slow, in merriment, it's fast, while we wait, it delays, while we're late, it's fast, etc. This means time response to our inner feelings and works in accordance to our state of mind. Time helps us bring closure to our past, as we live with the present putting behind those things in our past and also a closure to success, because as humans, we don't cling to our past success rather we aim at achieving greater things. Time shows us how far we've made progress. If we understand time, we would learn wisdom on what to do each moment of our lives.

Brilliant article! Indeed, you have described very good points here! If I may add, I'd like to highlight the fact that, at least in my humble opinion and as opposed to the vast majority of the greedy and not authentic corporatist world, time and the human resource are by far the most valuable resources for a company and in a human life in general! All the best, much health, take care, stay safe, many blessings, and great peace your way! God bless you and keep up the good work here on HIVE!

I recently found myself thinking time is the most valueble thing in the world. I got myself thinking that, in the future someone is going to somehow get his hands on time. He will be the most powerfull person ever.

Sadly, you may be able to turn back the hands of time literally but you can never do that figuratively.
Time heals they say, I hope it did for poor Mr Adams😪

If only the hands of the clock can be truly turned back but sadly it can't, no matter how we sit making it anti-clockwise cannot bring the times gone.

Nice work with the pen dreemer, came in through dreemport.

You've rightly added, the hands of the clock can't be changed no matter how's manipulated. Thanks for stopping by

Hi there @dwixer :)

When you are quoting something that is not your own, always be sure to write the source of the information. You have this section above

Everything in life happens in accordance with time, there's time to be born and a time to die, a time for work and a time to rest, a time to plant and a time to reap that which was planted, etc.

which is taken from the Bible, Ecclesiastes chapter 3 to be exact :)

Please do update your post to reflect that this is where that info came from! Thank you so much!!!

Dreemie :)

It wasn't specifically taking from the bible even though Ecclesiastes has a portion of that, it was just a paraphrase but I'll do well to add the bible verse that has the detail.

Thanks for calling my attention to it.

you're very welcome! yes - that is a very well known passage of Scripture and has been used in songs too hehehe

So whenever you use something like that - even if its paraphrased, it's always best to cite the source of your info! Better to be safe than sorry! hehehe❤️

An interesting collection of cameos on time is contained within your post, from an reference to the bible to a short short story, to a semi-financial perspective. I note that you are already addressing your referencing to Ecclesiastes; that's good. It needs to be done. I came to your post from Dreemport. !PIZZA
