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.
Emma this was very insightful and well worded
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
