Does Time Run?

The 'Time-runner' Fantasy

 It is fanciful to hear people in a talk  that time has been fast running of late. Sometimes, funny enough, you  eaves drop into these hilarious chats of theirs and all your curious  ears hear is “December has come so soon?!”, “Today is Saturday, like  seriously?” or rather “This weekend is running so fast!” Really? Is 'time' actually in a hot chase by Usain Bolt as these folks fantasize it to seem? 

If allowed to contribute to their  conversation, the question I will most eagerly ask them would have been:  “Since when did some days begin to have 23 hours as others had 25  hours? Since when did the creator of time Change seconds into minutes,  minutes to hours, hours to days, days to weeks, weeks to months, months  to years, years to decades, decades to centuries and centuries to  millennia?” 

Failure to Plan - Procrastination Sped Up Time!?

The problem is not with our illusion of  time running fast but our failure to PLAN. We hardly have daily plans,  weekly plans even to millennial plans. (If we do have any at all, do we  work diligently into our plans? ) Therefore days elapse to make us  realize that our goals for the previous days or years haven’t been  accomplished. We then conclude that time is running too fast. As we are  caught up in the web of procrastination and hypnotized by it, we have  forgotten that time and tide wait for no man. 

If We Had Power Over Time...

As others wish there were two (2) days in  a month and the funny ones would prefer three (3) hours in a year, I  will (sacrilegiously?) prefer nil (0) seconds in a day whose implication  is inexistence of life but who are we mortals to control time? Come to  think of it, even in Greek mythology, Chronos, the god of cyclical and  unbound time never dared play-toy time for human benefit. You will want  to argue that there’s a Biblical account of Joshua freezing time and  perhaps you could fast and pray harder to obtain the anointing to do  that. Brother, keep on fasting for this purpose and you’ll die before  you realize your expensive ignorance.

Hypnotized with Time Travel 

Time travel as seen in Hollywood movies  is a fiction. Well, I’m yet to hear of someone making this a reality by  freezing present time and scrolling it back to yesteryears to enjoy the  good old days once more. If there’s anyone as such, please to tell me so  I could also pursue that adventure too ’cause I have a lot of things to  change about my past life. It will be another great adventure to skip  time and zoom into my future to delete all records of sorry and  discomfort in it. Till then, I keep to the saying that time which flies  returns no more. I wouldn’t waste my life now hoping that one day, I  will revisit the past to change all the mistakes I did. 

Time is a Resource -  Learn To Manage It Efficiently.

 Time is money (precious) and thus, we should seize every opportunity it comes with. There is more to life than sitting idle and watching time elapse. You've got to enjoy every moment time comes with; with amazing and fun  memories scattered through the winds of time. Our time should be managed efficiently in order for us to  accomplish every task we set for ourselves. Let’s learn to plan and shun  procrastination, laziness and idleness so as to live timely lives. The  short arm of the clock will still in it’s long-practiced childish play  chase after the long arms in clockwise direction till dooms day when  many must have been deceived by the time runner theory. Well, I care to  ask once more, "Does time run?" You be the judge.
