The time and worries of life

in #life7 years ago

The days, months, and years always pass at a frightening speed. I realize that every new year we get that feeling that it was faster than the previous one. Soon, I remember a poem.

The time
Life is the duty we brought home.
When you see it, it's already six o'clock!
When you see it, it's already Friday!
When you see it, it's already Christmas ...
When you see, the year is over ...
When we see each other, we lose the love of our lives.
When you look 50 years have passed!
Now it's too late to be disapproved ...
If I was given one day, another opportunity, I would not even look at the clock.
He would always go ahead and throw the golden, useless shell of the hours on the way ... Mário Quintana

This poem can be beautiful and scary at the same time. It accurately portrays our lives. The older we get, the faster the time passes, because our concerns always increase.

Sometimes we are not always so busy, but worried. We are anxious and fearful, often unnecessarily, because of future things. We want to predict our lives so that everything goes as we wish.

This attitude often makes us immediate. We want everything for yesterday, and we forget that everything has a time.

a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Whatever the time is, it is important to ask yourself: Am I happy? I am happy? What makes me happy?

We can not change the past or predict the future, but it is possible to reflect the present. Maybe life is not so good, because you have debts, you're unemployed, you've had a separation or another difficulty. And if you put everything bad in an imaginary box, is not nothing good left?
