The Price Of Time

11/06/2014
When the doctor informs you that you have a terminal illness and that your days are numbered, before asking how much an  operation or treatment may cost, the first question that pops in our mind is “How much time do I have?”.
To economists and business people “Time is money”. Life in general doesn’t seem that way. Finding money nowadays could be difficult but there are ways to earn it. Here are the facts: There are jobs all over the world. Businesses are sprouting in every corner. There are foundations and charities pledged to help people in need. Money can be obtained in various ways but the possibilities of extending time cannot be done. Oil is essential to our survival. Machines run on oil and in an industrial and technological day of age, I doubt that its in-existence wouldn’t go unnoticed. Prices of items in the market and transportation depends majorly on the price of oil. But as important as it is, we may still run out of it. The same goes to money. You may run out of all the daily necessities in life but you still have time, but if you run out of time you have nothing left.
Time is ticking. As each day passes by, time keeps on running. As much as we want our very own backspace to rehash the past, pause button to take a break, Ctrl-z to undo something, and reset to start afresh and anew, it is not possible. We cannot store it in a bottle to save for later, and slow it up during happy moments. We cannot buy a gallon of it in a grocery store or sell it to someone else who is in need. When we spend time, it is forever lost and unrecoverable and all that’s left to say is “What’s done is done”.
