TIME is basic to all happenings in our world. Its wheel continues to turn and unfold the drama of life in this universe.
Day and night, the seasons, growth and decay of flora and fauna and all other life processes have a time pattern that is essentially cyclical and repetitive.
All human activities are determined by this time pattern.
But today, human beings are in a desperate hurry to beat time. They want to do everything instantly, be it cooking, cleaning, eating or working.
In fact, for every conceivable activity that could be finished as quickly as possible, they have invented a method to do it!
In this millenial age, speed is efficiency, so we have e-mail, e-commerce, e-shopping, supersonic jets, live telecasts of games and events.
But in the race to do everything faster, we are missing out on what time has to offer.
When we forget to give respect to time, time does not offer us the same respect either.
We need to understand the flow of time, be natural, and respect the laws of nature. When we do that, we will experience joy in every change that time brings.
