"What is
the time?" is probably the most common question that is asked across the
world. It reflects a unique connection between time and man. One that has been
true for eternity.
To quote an Irish saying -
"When God made time, he made plenty of it."
I had been on
a visit to a sleepy town, to attend a wedding revelry. Having arrived much
ahead of the date, I was left with the truism of the statement
above.
Where I live,
there are only a few moments of easy breathing possible, mostly when it is time
to snore. Else your every breath is counted and accounted for. Where I visited
was a place where no one was ever in a hurry. The leisure is very welcoming in
the beginning and then begins to overwhelm you very quickly.
I was left to wonder if the units of measurement varied greatly between the places I mentioned. It did not, and not that things were never done on time in this leisure town. Everything happened with time to spare without anyone so much as breaking into a serious sweat.
How? Yes, just
like you, I too thought the same. I still do not have any clue about the
answer.
Perhaps it is something to do with our perception of time and the ability to deal with every moment. If you are overwhelming yourself all the time, then perhaps you will exhaust yourself very quickly. May be we need to see what is important and then time will bend for you to make sure that all else is arranged accordingly. I took away this simple lesson. Whether i am going to benefit or not, I do not know, but it is about time I gave it a shot.
Happy New Year!
