Truth of Time


Time. It’s such a peculiar thing. Time is an endless continuum that allows us to pilot it. For the grieving, time moves slow like turtles crossing roads. For the rejoicing, time speeds up almost like it disappears. Time is considered one of mans best friends. It’s been with us since acoelomates roamed the jelly substance of earth yet the clock is still ticking while we prosper today. Throughout history, time has marked some of the most important events that has shaped humanity into this never-ending sequence. Slavery was abolished in 1865. It’s 2018 and yet we still find it necessary to critique others based of off skin color. The Titanic sank in 1912 and once again we still find it absolutely inviting to send people with beating hearts out to the middle of the ocean. If it’s one thing the concept of time has taught us, it’s that it can never be changed. Words can be said and actions can be done, yet is seems that time likes to play tricks on us and repeat itself. How does it do that? We will never know. Time is unpredictable, it doesn’t like to be known as the past, present, or future. It represents itself through the seconds, minutes, hours, and days. Most of us spent our time on what is urgent rather than what’s important. Slow it down. Take time into your own hands and spend it on things that matter to you whether its politics, reading or watching paint dry. Time does fly but always remember you are the pilot.

  2. This blog post is very insightful. I especially liked the bolding and font change of the word time throughout your piece. It gave it more meaning.
