A World Without Time

If Time did not exist, there would be no late-comers and no early birds. If time didn't exist, there would be no dead lines, no schedule. People won't hurry along at 7 in the morning with a look that specifies most of me is still in bed. There would be no traffic jams, no honking cars. You wouldn't see people screaming at each other hoarse just because their ignition pipe was broken and they're late for work. There would be no jostling on the pavements as no one would be on time or even late. In fact, everyone would be striding peacefully in their own wake, taking out the time to watch the world as it passes slowly by.
If time didn't exist then students would not hurry to complete the paper; you would simply hand in your paper when you finish it. There would be no breakfast, lunch or dinner. We would simply eat when we would feel hungry(in my case; always!)

If time didn't exist, people would age without realization. We wait every year to turn one second, one minute older and in our hearts we would know that every tick of the clock takes away something. But without time, this little epiphany would come much much later.
Time governs our being, our existence. We are dependent on it. It owns us in a way that we cannot deny. It uses us, mocks us by going slowly in hard times and rushing past like a Freight train when life is good. It puts itself in our hands, giving us the power to at least make it better or bitter.
A king once, asked his vizier to write something on his hand to gain the notoriety to look at it and become satisfied, whether it be sunshine and daisies or thunder and black clouds.
The vizier wrote just four words: This Time Will Pass. 
Time is indeed a blessing. 

What My Children Will Know

When my children start their existence, I will tell them to enjoy it and not take life seriously. I will tell them life

is a narrow path with many destinations leading to endless brims. I will tell them not to choose the correct path but rather, the correct destination. When my daughter starts to grow up and starts to feel uncomfortable about her body, I will tell her that at her age, I felt the same and that she will grow used to it. When my son gets low grades or does not meet my expectations, I will encourage him to treat this failure as a lesson. I will tell him, though success gives us many things, failure teaches us far more better things. I will tell my children it is better to fail than to cheat. When my children are confused what path they should take in life, I will comfortably guide them, yet at the same time give them the choice and independence of their own decisions. When teenage hits them and they become moody, I will give them space, time but assure them with invisible words that I can help. I will tell my children to respect their father for he works hard and what he earns, he earns for them. When my children get a thought they think they ought to share, I will not judge them and leave them not astray. When my daughter grows up, I will not pressurize her into marrying someone she doesn't want to and tell her that matches are made in heaven, someday her prince will come. I will teach my children that a life spent living for one's sake is a life not spent at all. I will tell them being successful does not mean riches, big houses, bigger cars but a happy, satisfied life. I will tell them that by helping others, you can gain your serenity, peace in life. I will tell my children to always respect adults and praise their decisions because they have been there before. I will tell them not to trust anyone blindly, not even their elders for elders are only human and may be wrong. I will tell them to hold their head up high and face the world with confidence. I will tell my children that nothing lasts forever and whatever they do should only be for the Hereafter, this world is nothing. I will tell my children to do what is Right and not give a fig about what others say. Lastly, I will teach my children to believe in Allah and in Him only as this life is all about what we get in the Hereafter.

"We all have that invisible watch on our exterior. We just don't know how many decades, years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds are left till our existence crumbles. Don't ever forget death. Don't shy away from it rather greet it like an old friend and face the hereafter honorably."
