Time

To have the element of time to manipulate is a god like gift. We humans are never meant to have the ability to manipulate time. We are made with a mind to think, the ability to turn time in any direction they wish would lead the world to chaos.

We may think we want it to be this way then when we push forward to see that what we chose isn’t the best for us, we’d turn back time to change our actions … not knowing that it was the best for the other people in our life. We are selfish; we assume we only want what is best for ourselves. We forget. We include others. As much as we’d like to admit that we’re alone in this world, we never are. Our actions would always affect someone. We just might not know about it.

Funny thing is, even the world’s renowned superhero, Superman, doesn’t have the ability to manipulate time. Guess he isn’t so super after all. Time is a dangerous element in this world. Hence, we are never meant to call it our own. We were never meant to have it. The next time someone asks do you have the time? Say you don’t because it isn’t ours to call our own.

Time is cruel. It moves on and never stops to care for the needy, feed the hunger, and stop war or anything else. It continues to go and take life with it. Then again if time doesn’t exist, there can never be birth or happy moments in life. We won’t remember “the time” anything or anyone that has made us smile or laugh. Which can also be a good thing, and then we don’t need to remember our heartaches or sufferings. Just let life go on. But do keep in mind, time heals us.

Time is like a space in our lives; to be filled by actions regardless what it is. To have it is to treasure it and do the best we can with it and regret nothing of it. Don’t ever wish you can turn time to do things differently. Having the element of time is having it now; not then; not before; not later. Be happy with what you have now and what’s more to come.
