The lost time

        During this pandemic, many people are bored and consider this situation a waste of time. We learn to count time like numbers, a kind of life that goes on and counts its clock’s tick forever. So, time is an accounting that finishes every day, week, month or year. At the end of them we think about our losses and benefits and, after that, we go ahead.
        But we don’t lose time, we lose time before some situations where we live. Lost time is not a bad thing for it but for us. Time does not disorient. Time is a white paper to be filled by us. We will lose life before time if we wait for events that can change something inside us and they will give us a new way to go ahead. We mustn’t bet against time because it won’t lose this race.
        The clock’s tick shows us that every minute that we waste and don’t make anything for us, in fact, this is lost time. Time doesn’t accept laments. Time doesn’t admit that we get stay aside the road of life watching as it goes away. It passes like an invisible wind and we must learn to sail and fly with it.
       Some people go outdoors to defy this invisible enemy, our laziness, and this is fighting against losing time. There is time to do everything; to plant and to harvest, to live in peace and to fight. Time admits everything. However the choice is ours.
       We can choose between getting lost in time or earning benefits over it. Benefits are possible and losses as well. There is no lost time, there is time that we don’t use and don’t enjoy. We can abandon the life window, get regret of life flowing outdoors or we can invest in our time. Time is the opportunity that we mustn’t lose. The time benefits exist in the opportunities that appear. If we are waiting our turn in a line, a book can be a time benefit. In an interview, if we are waiting our turn we can talk to people around us to try to understand where they made mistakes or achieved success. Time is an exchange of life experiences.
     Then, we don’t lose time, we will lose time if we lose time opportunities and don’t use them to learn more and to understand what’s happening around us.
       Some people lose time if they fake on the web and don’t use this time to help everybody to make a better world, more humane and friendly. We don’t lose time because it is not a commodity that we can buy or sell. Time is democratic and it is the same for everybody. And we can use it in our way, to do everything that we want. Many people get lost in time making useless things, including to steal time from others. We need to let others enjoy time and don’t cause damage in our own time. Some people sell their time in exchange for values. Those who see time with possibilities to gain something they can sell their time, but the most important thing is to gain a lot of experience and we won’t need to sell it in the future.
