Time Won't Come Again

Time won’t come again
Is there ‘time’ in this universe? If there is time, is there beginning and end to time? So far the human knowledge hasn’t found the beginning and end of the universe. We can say that the beginning of the universe is the beginning of time and end as well. Hence the age of time is equal to the age of universe. The universe is existing and all the time changing within it. But time is going forward and it does not exist.
Everything else besides time and life in this world are cyclic. Time as life once lost means lost. In our life every second we lose is a second reduced in our length of life. Time and life in this world won’t come again. Every time when I travel through the Kerala mountains I watch and feel the beautiful high peaks touching the sky, the yellowish red sun hiding back the peaks, the clouds and mists moving over the steeps and valleys filled with greenery, the soft cool touch of the wind and the enchanting scenes of nature. and always I can get the same experience, same joy and same thoughts. But it is true yesterday is not today, today cannot be tomorrow according to time. For experiences may come again but time won’t.
Time is identified only by life. Passing of ages and eras are unidentified and meaningless without life. It can be rightly called the dark ages. From the beginning itself time and life have been inseparable. Even though every living being in this world has a short life the perpetuation of life is going on long by its generation and so we can also say that worldly life is also eternal in the sense that it is passed on from one generation to another. It is not life but meaningful life and influential incidents of life and time become history. To be in history or to print a mark in time one has to have influential incidents and achievements in life.
Jesus Christ’s life had this kind of influence on the life of people and time and resulted in the dividing of time into two as A.D. and B.C. Can you imagine a 16th century England without the elegant rule of queen Elizabeth; the renaissance in the literary field; the cute children of renaissance, Edmund Spencer and William Shakespeare and the power of reformation? It is because of these influential incidents and lives 16th century England is remembered for ever.
Now-a-days people are fighting with each other over the sharing of water from the reservoirs. That means water can be stored, reserved, chanalized and used whenever it is needed. But we cannot do time like that. The time units are just to count the passage of time and not to stop the time as segments and use it as we like.
Even though we cannot reserve time as water we can use time wisely. We can manage time in an efficient way not by stopping and changing time as our wish but by properly scheduling our tasks and doings in a better way. J. Krishnamurthy always stressed the importance of living in the present time. Jesus Christ also emphasized the need of living today. That means we should not postpone today’s task for tomorrow and at the same time we should not carry tomorrows problems to today also. Successful people are those who use their time properly, effectively and timely. For instance if a person gets up one hour early every day then he will get one more waking day in a month.
Even carl Lewis cannot ask time, “Hey, wait a minute I would catch up with you”. We have to run with time that we do knowingly or unknowingly. But to make a mark in time something else is needed individually or collectively, through science, religion, literature, philosophy, politics, and sports and so on. In short, if we use time wisely, time will make our achievements history.
