The Slow Tide of Time

Time is a slow tide that takes us on a journey toward truth. At times, the truth is far too realistic and hurtful; at other times, it brings pure joy. Time is a person's best friend if they know how to spend it wisely.

Most people nowadays claim a lot of their time is spent earning a handsome living for themselves and their families. But in the rush to accumulate wealth, the true value of living is often forgotten, leading to an unhappy life. We only live on earth once in this conscious mind, so why should we spend three-quarters of our precious time merely minting wealth?

While wealth is necessary, we must cherish our social relationships—family, friends, and acquaintances who write excitement, joy, and true happiness into our souls. When our time comes, we will leave all our wealth behind. But if there are hearts to remember and mourn us, the time we spent here becomes truly worthwhile, because we left our mark in the mysteries of time.
