                                                                  Time, do you have any?

What is time? Most people measure it by the hours, minutes and seconds in a day when really -- they should measure it in moments..

It seems to me people started feeling like they had no time when computers entered our worlds..The machines were supposed to make our lives easier and save time.. However, I do not see the world that way at all in 2012.

I even moved to a slow farming state, 15 years ago, hoping people would have more time. And even though the days and hours seems to go much slower than in the city or the suburbs, no one ever seemed to have any time there either..

I wonder if it is just an excuse people use to avoid other people. I watch curiously as those around me continue to over schedules their lives.. Work for one things seems to dominate everyone. Even people who have a lot of money and a fantastic job do not seem to have the time..

“Climbing up your money tree you’ve got to hurry, Monkey do or monkey see, you’re on a one way street and you’re speeding, missing the signs you ought to be reading, passing things you will later be needing..”

These words are from a song titled "I believe in Love" and was sung by Kenny Loggins and Barbara Streisand.. I think this describe what we are witnessing at this very moment in time..

I know it is important to work and have a job if you need to support your family.
But if you are sacrificing interpersonal relationships and great memories for more money, then it is not time you are lacking but love and connectedness which you cannot buy -- by the way..
