Society and Human Rights: The Lost Years Of Our Lives.

No matter how stagnant or regressive a person can be in life, we all are unavoidably bound to keep moving in time. Many hours come and go, and so do many years. Time is definitely no one's slave. No one can afford to buy time, literally. So, when a person says, 'I still have time,' I get shocked to my bones to imagine how much loss ignorance can bring. Even while you make such a statement as 'I still have some time,' you are already running out'. Can you still have something that constantly decreases? Can humans who 'naturally' only have a definite but constantly used 'time-credit' to spend boast to have time? A fixed 'life-time' is not like an amount of airtime or mobile data that can be frozen to remain fallow -unused. It's not like your wifi that you turn on and off at your will or discretion.
          The purpose of this article is simply to remind us of the human predicament of being bound in a time that is set-loose off every conceivable restraint, and then help us thus. In one of my earliest writings, I wrote, 'Run with the waterfalls, they continue as time -a meaningless pause is a great waste!' If only we as humans could literally run our lives as efficiently as a major waterfall flows. Don't be deceived, you can't claim to have time. We constantly lose time, or at least, the unused or unproductive time we inevitably spend. We lose time, but we don't lose it alongside what we accomplished in time. Our accomplishments or achievements have a tendency to last through time and even outlive us.
          The topic is: The Lost Years Of Our Lives. I have no doubt that virtually every person has wasted some significant amount of time in their lives, worrying, lazying, fearing or being completely ignorant. So, what happens to the lost hours and years of our lives?
          Well, I can say a few things. Now that we know we may have lost some days or even years of our lives, we can be wiser henceforth. One, a person can find or give a purpose to the wasted hours of their lives. By this I mean, you can ascribe a purpose to this otherwise nonpurposive time. You could decide to make those lost years a drive, a motivation, the reason for your extra efforts and sacrifices. In doing this, you give purpose to it, and so, it becomes useful and profitable.
          Two, make it the reason you consciously strive to procrastinate less. The moment you remember that some hours have been lost, when excuses, events, and temptations come up to make you waste more time, wisdom would teach you to say no! It's human to waste time at some point, but it's dehumanizing to waste more time after we have realized this truth. We are not stones or mindless animals, we can be purposeful and successful. It almost totally lies in our hands, our decisions and actions. Knowledge is light for those who are curious to see and ready to progress. Knowledge is rendered useless in the lives of many indifferent individuals in our society today.
          Knowledge is not profitable until it is used. It is not just a piece of information that should be added to memory; it is one that should be used throughout our lifetime. Thank you.
