The Time-Conscious Life: Unconscious of Time.

Source
I've come to realize that life will be a lot more easier if only people were more patient and less conscious of time. When a person is born, when he takes life changing decisions, when he dies and in fact, everything he ever did on earth is measured by time. The reason why people leave their homes before the break of dawn only to get involved in a cat and dog chase on the road is 'time'. The reason why people become uncomfortably and agitated when they haven't done what they had planned to do at a particular time is 'time'. The reason why accidents occur daily is because some time-conscious people refuse to fall behind time and so, in order to catch up with time, they run into a timely accident and sometimes an eventual untimely death.
This has made me conclude that time is the wheel spinning our lives, indeed, the catalyst gearing events and as well taking records.

The origin of time has become a debate between scientists and philosophers. The existence of time itself is troubling. Time seems to pursue us and hunt us down. We feel stalked by the passing years. Time, it seems to us, is running out, or rather, we are gradually passing out of the world of time. Look briefly at your wrist watch if you are wearing one. Your watch is a measure of moments, the succession of events. Consider the quantity we call a “second.” On average, worldwide the following happens in a second: 4.5 cars are manufactured; 2,000 square meters of forest is wiped out; 3 people are born; 1.5 people die; 12.6 million cubic meters of water falls as precipitation (3.2 million of that falls on dry land). In a single second, 2.4 million red blood cells are produced in our bone marrow, and 4 billion impulses are exchanged between the cortical hemispheres in our brain. A lot happens in a second!

After reading this article, it will be one of two things: either you wasted your time or used your time wisely but, that's if you took your time to read every word without the fear of wasting time.

Time has become equivalent to another force behind the universe: MONEY. The five letter words that rule the world. People often say time is money. When you see a man living his life like a rancorous race, he is either running against time or running after money. Since time will slow down for no man, it becomes foolish to slow down for time yet, it pays to slow down at some point and critically examine our lives and what we have used our time to achieve. You are the creator of the time in your life. Only you can make the best use of it. Seize opportunities, enjoy the moment and be a master of time and not a slave to it.
