The Time of Life

It is said that life is short. Time is invariably shorter.Milton thus rightly said-

"Fly envious Time, till thou run out thy race."

One life is usually not long enough to understand the value of time. But both are great teachers to Man. Man's life may just not be enough to comprehend the value of time; consequentially, he may not ever have the time to understand what life is all about. Nevertheless, Man being nature's slave, does realise the value of both eventually.The world is proof to the fact of how man has learnt the value of time in life and the value of life throughout his time. They say, its never too late in life and too early or before time.Time and Life are the two most integral facets in the broader world called the universe. Both teach unforgettable lessons to man. Since time and tide wait for none, Man might as well learn to value the time that life bestows upon him. Life being a gift of God, does teach the noble lessons that every human being is entitled to learn. Life and Time teach us discipline, turning man into a social animal. Time bears testimony to the going ons in Life. In fact, the threatening of time always makes man systematic in his duties, motivates him to fulfill a time bound dream and reach his destination
Time touches all and turns them into nothing. This very truth make life all the more active and enjoyable. Everyone seems to be carrying within themselves and Ulysses to drink "life to the lease." Following the dictation of his mentor Time, Man can acquire success,prosperity and utmost peace. Time is kind to man. Dylan Thomas thus said-

"Time let me hail and climb 
Golden in the heydays of his eyes...."

He had perhaps not wanted to let go of any moment of his precious life. Life is after all a practical laboratory of the teachings that time propagates theoretically. Life is a collection of experiences which either fills us with laughter or makes us break into tears. But in each case and through every experience of success and failure we learn to adhere to time. 
Life and Time are the two great teachers-- time teaches the value of life and life teaches the value of time. The teachings of life are so keen and touching that man can never forget the constant existence of time throughout his lifetime.
