If we actually notice, as seconds of the clock ticks, it's only the clock that has the opportunity to clock the same particular time after meeting up what it requires to go full cycle (24hours)....But everything that has life and passes through growth process is subjected to witnessing the same clock time in different stage of growth.
Clock time oscillates dynamically in movement but meets a cycle that's constant.
So, if I say clock time is constant based on the above established fact, I'll still be very much in line and comprehensive.
But taking a look from the human perspective, we all personify time... And we actually still have divided time into duo-, di-, or bi-time.
Personified Time:
We say things like "my/his time is coming, my/his time has come, my/his time will come, my/his time has passed, etc.
Time Category:
We even still further divide time into bad or good. You hear someone say "it's a good(or bad) time for me/him, this time will pass, etc.
If we notice, humans always want negatively charged times(bad times) to pass and hope to have positively charged times(good times). But we fail to realize that we must have a measure of both bad and good, negative and positive, Black and White, advantage and disadvantage, and so on to achieve a balanced state of everything.
When we have difficult times when things are not smooth, no money, etc., we pray for such time to pass and hope strongly on a better time.
But most of us seem to forget that ...both good and bad time will pass(as both are subject to Time). We tend to focus on and hype bad times that when a good time shows up, we relax and enjoy it with an attitude like it's gonna naturally stay...but while we do nothing towards retaining the time while enjoying it's euphoria, the time; just like an opportunity dies out slowly. And we at times realize we're transitioning into bad times when our resources can no longer power/fuel/sustain the good times.
So, we keep moving in an imbalance oscillation where the bad time is most experienced.
Our clergies in different religious institutions will speak prophesying "...and this times shall pass" while we chorus Amen thunderously void of full comprehension of how to manage the good times when it shows up.
In other not to lose Good times when it comes, we need to be prepared in bad times, making hard sacrifices and taking calculative risks that are in line with the good times we so envisage and anticipate.
A very successfully rich clergy was teaching about financial freedom and he said he used to save more than half of his income per month. Now, that's a huge sacrifice. And you take reasonable risks to invest your resources even in not-so-good times.
Only by following the above principles with prayer will we actually be able to recognize and improve on our bad times while trying to find our way into good times.
Prepare...Make sacrifices...Take calculative risks even while in bad times.
That's how to secure good times.
...Or else we'll only keep hoping that "This Time Will Pass"
