Tragic realization.
Well put:
If time is money, in my country we have wasted a great fortune.
I personally have issues with the maxim you quoted above (God's time is perfect), and it goes heyond the simple theological assumption. I think that what you noticed in that line, people playing dominoes, doing their best to enjoy the long wait, avoiding losing their minds or getting al ulcer out of sheer anger outbursts, is the result of asuming that whatever happens in beyond our control, that it is part of a bigger plan and that we have no saying in a higher power's decisions.
I think that that convinction is paralizing and it has contributed to our paralysis and the current state of comformism, resignation, and despair.
I share your frustration and I try to put myself in the possition of those who are having an even worse time (sick, in jail, mourning the untimely loss of loved ones) and it is a really bleak scenario we have.
I do my best every day to avoid wasting time and build some foundation for a new and better life but it is a mentally exhausting excercise.
Because of something I read out there, for a person to take seriously the lost time, a clock should not mark the elapsed time but the time we have left in life. Perhaps this way people would give more value to punctuality and to do really important and enriching things in this brief sigh that is life. Grateful for your comment, @hlezama.
