Time...

Is there anything more elusive in life?

Wealth you say? With time wealth can be achieved, ultimately it depends on your definition of wealth, but you can gain it.

Happiness you suggest? Maybe for some, but happiness really falls hand in hand with self-actualization and accepting you you are. While some can do this with ease and others struggle with it, happiness can be attained.

Time is the most elusive thing we experience in our lives. We think we have it, but we never really do. It slips through our hands faster than we realize. We promise to do so much with our time, we promise to be better keepers of the time, but in the end our fervor fades and time conquers our intentions.

Technology is times best ally. Just when you think you have time in your clutches, technology grabs you and holds you down allowing time to escape freely into thin air. Television, Computers, Video games, MP3 players, and Cell Phones are all partners in crime with time. Think of how much could be done without these things clogging up your free time.

You could finally read that book.

You could catch up with that old friend from high school.

You could rake the leaves.

You could finally clean out the garage.

We could all be more productive if we didn't have these daily distractions.

However, technology is what makes life bearable these days. If we didn't have these pleasant distractions life would seem more complicated than it already seems and truthfully I don't want to imagine that.

Sometime I dream of living in a simpler time and how life would be if we could accomplish everything we wanted to, I would be happy and have money but I still would not have...
