"Time is gold, money is paper" – a quote from Carissa Villacorta in her book, Surreality. Such a beautiful and realistic quote to ponder; it makes us all realize that when a person is dying, he wouldn’t wish for more money but instead, more time to continue his life.
Why in this world did those pieces of paper come to have value capable of buying even a person’s life? That paper has influenced in shaping our world; practically, the world depends on it, but the world seems to depend on it a lot. There are a lot of things that is worthy to be given importance than money.
In reality, money gives us happiness, fulfillment, and security; it enables us to live our daily lives thinking that we are secured because we have something to disburse in case of a need to exchange values. However, we shouldn’t make our lives revolve in it. It is too shallow of us to consider it as the focal point of everything. We may not know it, but gradually we are dragged to it. We may not admit it but slowly we are doing it. Let us be aware of the other elements of the world that makes us live, such as time. Time gives us opportunity, chance, and memories. Time if compared to money is irrevocable; it’s like a flowing river that passes without any intention to come back, regret is the only thing left after time floats in front of us. But don’t ever let regrets bury us, if we missed a time, try to make up next time. At least have the willingness to correct everything no matter what. May we all use the power of money to make valuable time but don’t make money the center of our time. Money is just a part of our life and our lifetime is manifested by the time we spent here on earth.
Take hold of time by absorbing every minute of it. Make every fraction worthy of something to be cherished for a life time. As we all know, we can never turn back the hands of time. Use money to make someone happy, but remember that what matters most is the amount of time spent to be genuinely of help to someone and not the value of material that serves as the instrument of love. Make time for God as well, it is the most precious gift he had given to us and I think that a moment to acknowledge his great love wouldn’t hurt or affect our time to do everything we want. Lastly, give valuable time to those who need it, give them the time they all wished for. Give, love and share, remember that what will always be remembered are the moments shared with genuine love and not the material given to express love.
