The Precious Value of Time

Dear Friends, I just returned from an amazing and absolutely thrilling holidays … in my back yard … only me and my wife, some brave birds and squirrels, no-one/nothing else … nice neighbors … wonderful house …sun …. sun ... rain …. excellent fridge filled with the stuff we like and a BBQ that never fails to work. Thank Thou, Lord!

To be honest with you, I was exhausted, I had no more energy left in my batteries;  I needed a lot of time to recharge them.
While recharging I spent a lot of time thinking about …. well, you know, daily thingies …. common thingies … but especially … about time …. tick … tick.. tick… another second of YOUR/MY LIFE! GONE!@ … (what did I do??) …

Time

Time seems to be so insignificant when you are young, but, believe me children, time is a silent killer, time is the untouchable assassin griming at you while you feel confident, and sharpening his knife while you feel untouchable  …

I have spent many years of my life working for companies/organizations/groups, often “consuming time” and keeping my mouth shut while I was full of anger, tolerating the stupid behavior and decisions of so-called “upper management”.  Why? Because I needed the money to feed my family.

Nowadays, having no more obligations, I am free and I keep training my brain to free itself from these ridiculous, acquired attitudes of obeying and accepting unacceptable things.

Why

Let me interrupt this blog with a direct question to you: “What would you be willing to pay for an extra year of living?
Think about it .

OK, now think about the following question:  How much time did you spend during your life for the benefit of someone/something else?

How much money represents your last answer? Use a calculator, if needed …

TimeConsumed

My conclusion is that we (“I”) have been much too kind/tolerate to stupidity and macho behavior, afraid to loose money.
The Earth is being raped, the weather is changing in an alarming pace, the World “Leaders” are tangled in futile issues and we are nearing the moment of total world melt-down. Most likely you and I will survive, okay, but the next generation, our children and grand-children, will encounter extreme problems, environmental disasters, terrifying wars, terrorist attacks and millions of people dying of hunger …
I am not a pessimist … but please, just look at the facts … what have we been doing? … what are we doing and when … when?? will we come to our senses?

Joey.

PS: Most likely some idiot, sorry, “educated spirit”, will react by saying that “… things are not so bad as Mister Dalton exposes them ..”
Please … use your common senses … use the Internet, visit your local bookshop/library or ask Mister Obama, but get some solid facts … as long as this is possible …

What we regret to have not done for others, for nature, for ... everything we think it would have been worth it, maybe these opportunity are wasted and gone, but they gave us the insight and a reason to talk a bout it to others, to encourage them and to be less ready to compromise - a state of mind, we would never have reached without this feeling of wasted time.

Yes. Time is constantly moving on BUT I do want to say this: Things of quality have no fear of time. Does that seem like a strange quote to you? It's actually the title of one of my entries on my blog, very early on, but it's also my personal philosophy. We only waste time when we seem to be oblivious to it but there's always enough when we are doing something that is important to us. Why do you suppose that is true? Einstein said, "Time is relative." It's sooo true.
My advice concerning time is this: Always take the time to do it right. You save time in end.
