These devices began the battle. The battle of time to fit the most we possibly can in one day, 24 hours, 1440 minutes, 86,400 seconds. In our world, it is a challenge to see who can better manipulate the time we have. Multitasking, speeding tickets, fast food chains, stress, lies, broken hearts, they can be results of this limited thing we call time. We lose the sense of ourselves when we lose ourselves to time. We tend to forget that there is a tomorrow to get more of the little things accomplished, maybe it is because we know that tomorrow will be just as busy. Maybe its because deep down we worry that there will not be a tomorrow. Maybe it's because tomorrow will be better if we rush to fit everything into today.
When does the cycle of time halt just long enough for us to step back and learn to love, to think our own thoughts and invent, to remember, to enjoy the little things, to see the big picture, to notice how beautiful of a world God has created, or to reflect on what has gone wrong and how we can change it. How can we live in the moment and still live for each other? With each step we take should we choose to follow or is it our path to lead. Me, I think I want to lead, but then again I know that someone needs to hold my hand along the way. If we think we can conquer time in a one man battle, I believe we are wrong. But what does it mean to defeat time?
I am writing this bog in order to start my own battle against time. If I can try to take the time to stop what I am doing every day to reflect in this blog than maybe it will help me to see time in a different light. Then maybe next time someone asks me how I've been I won't say "busy." I feel like that has been a far too common answer in my life.
How can we be less reliant on our clocks?
