The Value of Time

What is the most valuable thing on earth?

Time,because everything is acquired in time and all the men's business is conducted by time. You could have food,clothing,fabulous homes,wisdom-have all things you want. But if you do not have time,it means you have nothing.


What is the worst thing on earth for man?

The loss of time,because by wasting time we cannot acquire anything,we cannot have anything. By lossing time,we lose everything,even we can lose ourselves.



Another question:what do people value the least and what is the most disorganized and the most squandered thing on earth?

Time,a large segment of people live as if by guesswork,according to the accepted custom:day by day,year by year,not at all concerned what they did with their days and years or how they lived their lives. Sometimes we mourn over the loss of some existing traifles,and have no regrets at all,nor are we sorry,when we foolishly lose not just some pretty cash,but the most precious minutes of our time.

This is why the Holy Apostal Paul cautions us against useless waste of time and offers lawful provisions that we wisely arrange each minute of our lives. "See then",he said,"that we walk circumspectly,not as fools but as the wise,redeeming the time,because days are evil."

When Apostal said:"see then,redeem the time."With these words,he wants us to understand that by time the true happiness is also acquired,just as by money all things necessary in physical life are purchased,and that consequensly,the proper use of time is very similar to the use of money in good hands. A wise man will never loss a single penny foolishly,he will count the entire ammount which he has and attach a special purpose for each cent. We must do the same thing. And then we shall arrange our time. We must reckon with it. Every hour and every minute is determined with this or that purpose. Everyday must be redeemed with good deeds for our benefit and for the benefit of our neighbours. The Lord did not set aside one minute for idleness,harmful deeds,or simply to do nothing at all.
