TIME. Time . . . the essence of life, has given us many things. Without time, there would be nothing. Time and life vie together to make up our lives; each one individual and set in different paths. Our footsteps have trod our separate ways of life, each of us following our own path. Many of us may stray from our paths, while many others will follow along without a thought. We must not waste one moment of the precious elements that time has given us; we may someday regret it, for soon our time will run out, and we can never turn back the sands of time . . . time passes swiftly; we barely have the opportunity to realize that it is here . . . and then it has passed. Time gives us our pleasures, our trials, and our tribulations; without these, life would not be at its fullest. Ma ny times it seems cruel, for when we are happy, time travels too quickly; and when we are sad and alone, time seems to prolong our agony. Time carries us through our lives; we grow through it; we learn through it; and we love through it. Our lives are very short, there¬ fore, we must learn to use time wisely. During our lives, much is given us and much is taken away. But as we think about it and sum up our experiences and thoughts, we come to the conclusion that our joys are many while our sorrows are few.
