Money value time.
There’s a thing called “time value money”. In economy it refers to the decay of money value through time resulting from interest rates. When you deposit the money in a saving account, the bank calculate the interest and add up to your saving. You might think you have made some fortune but the fact is , you don’t gain anything!! The same amount of money in the future have less value than what it’s worth in the past. You don’t make profit from keeping money frozen in one place.
There lies some connections between time and money.However, they’re not interchangeble. Some people spend time making money ,but it’s very rare to find people being able to spend money in exchange for their time. It’s desperate when you run out of money, but there’s always something you can do to improve your condition. In this case, making some money. But for time, there’s no plan B for when you run out of time. Though relative, you cannnot “produce” time.
When people fall in love, some say time seems to stop, but the truth is that they only “wish” it stop. As time is unrenewable resource. The only thing you can do is spending it. Though you don’t spend it, it won’t stop depleting. Time is fair. Time don’t give privilege. And the next thing you know, it has passed.
What I’m trying to say after those long sequences of confusing words is that, use your time to the fullest. I’ve experienced wasting large amount of time for nothing and it’s very despairing. I’ve also experienced spending large amount of time for “something I think worthwhile” and the I felt even worse because it’s not what I truely desire.
And for the last. Though you cannot replenish time , it’s still sharable. You can still look out for someone to come and “share” their time with you ,both pleasant and painful. And after those time have passed,
It’s just like one of my friend’s saying. “What’s left behind is just memory.”
