Passing time

This clock tower is a monument to the passage of time. It is a resource wasted more than any of us would care to admit. Most of us, through no fault of our own, pass time doing things we'd rather not. Things that border on meaningless.

But what about the rest of our time? The time we have to choose how we spend it? Do we fill it with to the brim doing things we love, or make memories that we will cherish?

If not, why not? And don't we only have ourselves to blame if we don't?

Perhaps the reasons we build monuments like clock towers is to remind us to make the most of time.

If times are tough, we need to remember that Now is not forever. We need not be selfish of our time either, but reflect on how the selfless kindness of others has impacted our lives and try to do the same.
