What is it about time that makes people crazy? People will think the world is about to end when they turn 30, and they are knocking on death’s door when they turn 40. At 50 they are having tea and biscuits with the grim reaper every other day and by 60 people are sleeping every night in their newly bought coffin. Yes, that’s how we act toward our age, but when a foundation turns 100 years old we rejoice, as if no one has ever done that before. We seem to forget that time, at least time as we perceive it, has been around since the beginning of forever, and will be forever. Time will always tick by, even if there is no clock to keep track of that infinite thing. It is so vast, and so infinite, that to even try understanding the life span of Time may push a few of us to the brink of our sanity. Yet, even a little bit of Time is valuable. The measly few years we will spend in life are more precious then a world of gold. But at times, Time is worthless. In large portions, like years, it is valuable. It is something to envy when others have more of it. But in smaller portions, like minutes or days, it is so insignificant and thrown away like an old newspaper that is only used to let a dog potty train on.
