Briefly about TIME

Upon a recent stroll by the side of the ocean, watching how calmly and persistently the waves were washing the shore, I was reminded once again that we all grow in time, live in time and die in time. Joy, sorrow, happiness, success, fame or defeat are all blending together in different proportions as we each walk the path of life, leaving behind footprints in the sand of time.

In science, time and space are woven together like a fabric upon which all matter lies, while on a psychological level, when life speeds up it feels like time is slowing down. 
Yes – time is an opportunity, which can be used wisely or foolishly; time is more precious than money, and it is more powerful than kings and princes – they come and go, but time is forever. Nonetheless, as we each walk the walk, we all realize how powerful time is and that in fact, time and tide wait for none.

Recently I was coming across this short inspirational story, which I find worth sharing further. Enjoy the reading!

Story: This Too Shall Pass

One morning, the boy Solomon saw the goldsmith who works for King David's Palace walking out of the palace very desperate and sad.
Solomon asked the goldsmith with curiosity: - What makes you feel so sad and desperate?
The goldsmith answered: - I have to provide a solution to the King within seven days. If not I will be taken out of my job. I am really confused because there is no solution for what the King has asked.

- What is the solution that the King is looking for?, Solomon was curious.
The goldsmith presented the demand of the King to Solomon as follows: - I need to make a gold ring for the king with an inscription on it which should help the king not to be very happy and forget the eternal truth at his happy moments. At the same time the inscriptions on it should help him not to lose his heart when he is facing failures and desperation.

Immediately Solomon gave what he needs to inscribe on it: - Write as follows: "This too shall pass."

Time
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean,
And the beauteous land
And the little moments
Humble though they are,
Make the mighty age of eternity.

“The only way to survive eternity is to be able to appreciate each moment.”
