In America we are so caught up with money and the acquisition of it. Most people who work, are paid by the hour, then they are either paid bi-weekly or monthly. We work hard from the beginning of the day to the end to accumulate the tools (money) to survive, and for some of us to thrive in this world. In this fast get up and go society it is hard to see time as a "gift". Most of us have our entire days consumed with work or some task that leaves us wishing we were off doing something else that was bit more enjoyable. I think if we all had the option to actually enjoy our lives without worrying about how we were going to buy food, pay rent, and all the other essentials of life we could reasonably believe in the notion that "time is a gift".
Time is something that is precious because it continues without pause or second chances. With time all we have is the now and the moment that comes after. I would love to lay down and relax and enjoy the time I have, but it is hard to do so when everything around me is telling me that I can't. When I know that I have this to do and that do. We have "to do list", not "to don't list". I wish I could treat each day as it was my last and make an event out of each day. I think we need more spontaneity as a culture, more fulfillment to our existence. I think we are all tired of the self-important routines we have etched out for ourselves. I am.
