The River of Time

Yesterday, I mentioned that part of reality is the fact that we create it.  I hold this to be true.  If we don’t believe that our lives are the decisions that we make, we don’t have very much at all. Furthermore, such a belief is a slippery slope: it could very easily lead us to believe nothing really matters.

In the human condition, there is only one thing that is more important than the ability to choose: Time.  In fact, Time is everything, and it validates the importance of the ability to choose.  You could even say that Time and the ability to make decisions are really the same:  The choices we make define how we spend our Time.

I’ve rather sloppily run through some reasoning, but it is an undeniable Truth that Time is the most important thing we have in our lives.

I’ll admit.  I often let myself feel the weight of Time bearing down on me; it seems to run through my fingers like water.  But, as useless as this worry seems to be, this feeling also drives me to use my time well and make it matter.

The clock ticks. Make ‘em count.
