Time - "See what's become of me..." - Paul Simon


Time is one of our greatest treasures. One very successful capitalist and manufacturer I knew stated the essence of capitalist philosophy this way. “Time and money. That’s all there is.” Although I don’t entirely agree with this position, there is no doubt that a great part of the truth is contained in the statement.
In many respects I find that people take Time for granted. They spend it like a wealthy person spends money. A thousand dollars is nothing to some people, but several years of income to others.
Time is like money in many ways. It has value. It is essentially a symbol for our life. [For words are but symbols to describe how we understand things.] We can spend it, invest it, squander it, throw it away if we wish.
