Until when is the apple no good?

The term "time is a gift" in my mind means that every minute we spend doing something we enjoy and that makes life fulfilling, while still full of vibrance and life, is a gift. The way the world is today death can create itself in the masses if it wanted to, for no  good reason at all. Every second we spend living the life we are happy with is a gift because death is too common in our present day. "Time is a gift" and the term "time is money" are very different from each other. "Time is money" is creating a glass half empty. The humans in this world that look at time as money aren't searching for true happiness in life. They look at life as something they were suppose to have. Not something given to them. These kinds of people take it for granted and don't take time to grasp the whole concept of true happiness. They are sometimes masked with materialism. Time is time. It is not money, it does not make one man richer and one man poorer. It is what you do with time. Time is a gift. Some of us have relatives with terminal illnesses and the time we get to spend with them before they leave our lives forever is a gift. They could be dead at any moment, so any minutes you spend with them will forever be imprinted on your life. Yes we do get paid by the hour and have yearly incomes, but that is structure. Clocks are just structure. Time is intangible. Lacking time can be miserable. In order to tip the scale we should all look at it as a gift everyday. This may just change our lives.
