I first heard the word "timelines" in the movie "Back To The Future". Irrelevent though this article is to that context, I found that word interesting enough to take me into deep thought about time and how it is the most dependable thing in this universe. This is not a lecture on how to manage time or how people waste time. Its more than that. Actually, nothing close to that. Time is a beautiful thing. In this world that looks at time as just a constraint, I believe it needs more thought.
Time favors no man, it favors no machine. It might favor God himself, but no one is a testament to that. I've seen and heard people use the word with regard to strict deadlines, traffic conditions and their daily woes about the lack of time. Just thinking about how simply people use the word puts me in a tangle of thoughts that take me forever to untangle!
Given that Time deserves credit for its success. It has gone on. It has made itself so complex, no one understands it, and thus hinders it. Why I say that is simple: understanding brings emotions. Emotions raise questions. Questions demand answers. Answers demand commitment. Commitment cannot come without compromise. Time, my dear readers, has saved itself the strain of that compromise. Its path is not a compromised one. Purely for that one goal does time exist. Such is time.
That is my understanding of the nature of time. Or rather, that WAS my understanding. It happened recently. I was chatting with a junior of mine from school. Not a particularly fond one, she was all I had to save myself of boredom(these exam TIMES do get difficult you know!:D). In the course of our conversation I found myself enjoying it! Not a moment later I surprised myself: "times change". I said that.
In two words I shattered my definition, my understanding of the word time. There I realized, time can not be defined. It is not meant to have the boundaries of definition. It is everything around us. To define time would be a task only time itself could accomplish. Time is in birth and death. Time is in rise and fall. Time is in everything. TIME IS GOD.
"Time and tide wait for none"Just that one sentence shows us how impartial and duty bound time is. Its is ruthless and hard working. It is all those things we should be but are not. Time doesn't stop when the world is in disarray. Time doesn't look back and regret its past. Time doesn't think about what its future is. Time..... just works in the present. It has no fears, no worries; Just one goal: to go on.
