Time

“I don't have time”. A familiar sentence that finds its usage among our friend circles when someone couldn't do a work or wants to avoid it. If one really thinks a little about it, we ought to know ‘what time really is’?

Well, science defines time in terms of seconds. We find multiples and submultiples in our daily going. For a while we think, act, do, read. We spend time and it is elapsed forever. A man has 60 to 80 years of time on an average.

A logical approach to time defines it as a creation. Time is creation. For theists, it is the Kalyug in Indian Mythology that we are living in. And for atheists, it is modern age - space age.

A philosophical approach says that time can be created and as such it doesn't come or exist. For having time or not the question or is nonsensical. It is to say ‘I couldn't create time’ is rather right answer.

Humans are what we do. We do things when we feel obligatory. We have a lot of things to do. From among those, we choose to do which are necessary for us. Thus, creating time to do the best out of the rest. For to do anything we must feel a pinch of necessity.

We sacrificed certain items for the sake of others as we couldn't create time for them. Still if we can sacrifice a little rest, we might create a little more time. As such, man's power to create time is limited, but can be enhanced a little by better time management.
