In his Great Victorian novel A TALE OF TWO CITIES. Charles Dickens begins his story with these well known lines:
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness.....; it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going the other way.
Some might wonder what he was talking about. In fact he was just stating some facts about the way people view time and events differently. Obviously, "time" is always with us and will always play an important part in our lives. No matter how we want to look at "time", it will always be a factor in how we view the world and how the world views us.
The English language is loaded with phrases that express the value of time.
Time is money
Timing is everything
Just in time
No time
Time is right
Time out
Time and tide wait for no man
On time
Time on my hands
Timing is bad
Timing is good
Time to go
Time
Time.
We find references to time everyday and everywhere in our lives. Individuals have their own concepts of how to view time. Dickens in his great opening lines had it right. We all can view time differently. Sometime it is our friend; sometimes it is not. But glance now at your watch or clock. It is ticking. Time will not stop for any of us. Respect time and make it your friend and you may find that it is "the best of times." Do otherwise and it can be the "Worts of times."
