The Dissipation of Time


“Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.” ― Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance

Time never makes it easy on life - we always seem to lose more than we have gained. "If only we could turn the clock back..." is the common phrase - we would do things differently. We would pay attention in school and finish with good grades, then go to university and graduate and get a really well-paying job with all the benefits. We would become wealthy, maybe even famous. But no - the bubble is burst and we realize our predicament - we are losing time without making progress. We cannot stop it. Soon we will be measured for our final resting place. Will the time ever be on our side?
