Time Is Important
Time is said to be eternal. It is said that it has neither a beginning nor an end. Yet men are able to measure it as years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds. They have also given meanings to the words – past, present and future. True, time has a meaning. It moves. What was yesterday is not today. What is today will not be tomorrow. Yesterday is gone. Today is and tomorrow is yet to come. Yet time is said to have no holiday. It exists always.
The entire creation moves on according to a time pattern. There is birth, growth and death. There is time for everything. Plants flower and give fruits. Seasons come according to time. A child is born, grows into boyhood, adolescence, youth, middle age and old age according to age and time. Every movement of creation is linked with time. One cannot grow paddy in a month nor can a child become an adult in a year. Everything is fixed to a time-frame.
Time is a free force. It does not wait for any one. It is commonly said that time and tide waits for no man. Time is money. A minute not usefully spent is an eternal loss. You can never get back the lost minute. One has to strike the iron when it is hot. The time flies and never returns. If you waste time it wastes you.
‘Time is the best medicine’, says Ovid. It is said that time heals all wounds and it even heals what reason cannot. All human beings are emotional. When negative emotions like fear, anger, envy and jealousy overtake them, they lose reason and act in haste leading to serious consequences. They may repent later, as emotions cool down. But the damage done is done and remains forever. Even that damage can heal with the passage of time. People involved may forget and forgive. That is the importance of time and its healing touch.
Time is said to be a wise counselor. Passage of time allows an individual to grow. This growth gives experience. Experience helps decision making. Time reminds you to act and to act wisely. The wisest make use of the time fruitfully. It

    Time is more than just a number that sequentially increases at all time, it is its own individual dimension. No matter how much people try to stop, whatever people experience, good or bad, time will continuously move with nothing bringing it to a halt.

    Whatever an individual chooses to do with their time whether they use it productively or waste it, the time they used to do said activities they cannot regain that time. The novel acknowledges this symbol in a many instances. One of these is “there was a brief disconcert of the whole gay company”. This quote explains that whenever the party goers heard the sound of the clock they were reminded that they were trapped in the abbey, not helping anyone or doing anything productive. Often in real life people will use their times in ways that they wished they did was more productive and time often holds a shadow on a person’s life.…

    When it comes to time, religions that focus on creation such as Christianity, Islam and Judaism tend to see time as linear, going in a straight line from the beginning of the creation of the universe to its end. To be unrepeatable and limited, time has become an important factor. However in other religions such as Buddhism, the measurement of time is cyclical. This describes the universe in never ending changes that repeat each other over great periods of change, such as the rebirth of certain things and individuals. To these types of religions time is not as important or too real since, in the end, the universe is moving to some final point; at the same time, appreciating the present may be more important that being oriented to the future.…

    In researchers timeless attempts to unveil the mystery of time, some have came upon a conclusion that time exists in the order of past and present. The future ceases to exist due to the fact that the future is affected by the present. If we were to ponder deeper into the context of time, what seemed like the future is very well a projection of predictions formed by present time. If future does exist, hence every occurrence of the present time was scripted like a play and events will subject to no alterations. However, from what humanity portrays, it is the humankind who led time to its complex state of contradictions.…

    In The Embers and the Stars by Kohák the intersection of time and eternity is expressed. Kohák has focused on "natural" time, which is to say that time is not just what is expressed by a clock, or with a series of numbers on a clock. "It is, rather, set within the matrix of nature's rhythm which establishes personal yet non-arbitrary reference points." This means that time is not measured in seconds, minutes, or hours but by personal existence and experience. These "reference points" are experiences in your life that are meaningful and you help spatially distinguish points in time. Time as we know it is explained by Kohák as a "construct imposed upon nature's rhythm, subordination and ordering it". He does say that it is a useful construct, but as for the theory of relativity time does not hold up.…

    The comparison of time to a mouse can seem, ironic, however, because while a nibbling mouse can be stopped (as with a trap), the effects of time are relentless and irreversible. Damage done by a real mouse can be fixed; damage done by time cannot be repaired. A single mouse may affect one person; time affects everyone and everything. Even at its worse, a nibbling mouse is unlikely to cause death, but the passage of time inevitably leads to death for any particular living thing.…

    Early one morning “she had forgotten to wind up the wretched watch, or wretched her, wretched me, for not even this simple task had she remembered to carry out after only three days of isolation” (95). She feels as though when she loses her sense of time, she feels as though she will lose part of her sanity or humanity as well. On page 117, soon after the old man with the black eyepatch arrives to the mental hospital, bringing with him a working radio and watch, the doctor’s wife is quick to wind her watch after hearing the radio announce the time. She compares to see if the time is correct against the old man with the black eye patch’s wristwatch. Time controls everyone’s life in the normal world, work from this time to this time, eat at this time and this time, sleep at this time, but inside the mental hospital it can all be a blur under the fluorescent lights with no outside contact. This contributes to the wife’s need to know the time, as to keep structure in her life as everything else she no longer can control inside the quarantine. “Give it time, it’s time that rules, time is our gambling partner on the other side of the table and it holds all the cards of the deck in its hand, we have to guess the winning cards of life, our live” (318). By time, Saramago is saying that we ultimately have no control over life and we are dealt the cards of life we were meant to be given and only time will reveal what those cards…

    Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, is a well-known revenge tragedy of the Elizabethan era. It follows one young prince's pursuit of revenge against his murderous, incestuous uncle, King Claudius. After being visited by his father's spirit, he learns that his uncle, who is now married to his mother, murdered his father. This occurs shortly after the marriage of Hamlet's mother, Gertrude, and Uncle Claudius, making Claudius the Danish King. Learning of his father's murder – and still grieving over Gertrude's quick-willingness to marry after his father's death – Hamlet formulates a plan to seek his revenge. Hamlet's tragedy is his delay in killing Claudius for it leads to the death of his friends, his family, and ultimately, himself.…
