“Try to imagine a life
without timekeeping.
You probably can’t.
You know the month, the year, the day of the week.
There is a clock on your wall
or the dashboard of your car.
You have a schedule, a calendar,
a time for dinner or a movie.
Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored.
Birds are not late.
A dog does not check its watch.
Deer do not fret over passing birthdays.
Man alone measures time.
Man alone chimes the hour.
And, because of this,
man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that
no other creature endures.
A fear of time running
out.”
by Mitch Albom
Time is ticking away.
Yes, you’re young,
but the years fly.
And soon, you’ll be wondering
what would have happened
if you would have spoken
what was inside your
heart.
so tell me,
when exactly did originality go out of style?
Every 60
seconds
in Africa,
a minute passes.

Me: If you stopped it during a test at the last minute, just wandered off, brought your notes in, finished it correctly, and put them back, that would be a good idea, too.
Friend 2: If you could stop time, you wouldn't do tests. You could just take stuff from shops and live off that.
Me: No. That's illegal.
