To fear time. in the best sense, is not to detest it but to dread that time which is wasted and to weigh the permanent advantage of one or another decision about a course of action. Which route taken, how much progress attained, or which process employed does not have Time as its essence? Who has never had the experience when a minute, a few seconds, or even a split second hasn't made the difference between success or failure, right or wrong, disaster or safety? With the timing awry, machines function poorly, accidents occur, races are lost, wars engulf us, and ill-formed decisions crush future hopes. Computers have reduced time in problem solving to an instant. Covered wagon to jet plane, open fire to microwave oven, wire transmis- sion to satellite, crude medication to wonder drugs-all are time savers. What do we pay for our newly found Time? Unfortunately, many pay with a mental flabbiness, over-consumption of food and fuel, loss of a cultivated taste and smell, and a satisfaction with plastic dishes, plastic turf, plastic conversation, and plastic entertainment viewed from plastic chairs. Smug with our plastic, we patently put primary pleasure in pampering ourselves. Time, the bonus from new discoveries, is depleted in our ineffable contentment, our laxity, and our overriding inertia. With the gift of Time, we ignore its value to indulge in the latest fadsg we donlt entertain, we insist on being entertained, we don't work, we hire someone to work for usg we don't read, we watch TVg we don't sing, we are sung tog we don't give, we take. To waste the time endowed on us, we rob everyone around us and leave no opportu- nity for anyone to look upon us as living, sharing, or even effective human beings-to say nothing of the pride one should have in him- self.
