Yesterday He Hadn't Time, Now He Has Eternity.

(Today I think I'm a modern man, and that is not good.)


“Modern man thinks he loses something - time
when he does not do things quickly.
Yet he does not know what to do with the time he gains
except kill it.”

- Erich Fromm


Why do we kill the thing we are afraid of losing?

Here lies, extinguished in his prime,
a victim of modernity:
but yesterday he hadn't time---
and now he has eternity.

-Piet Hein, poet and scientist (1905-1996)


When he has eternity, only does he realize how important are those things he hadn't time for.

Time Trapped In Eternity.

“Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.”

- Henry Van Dyke


And when love ends, you find time is still trapped in eternity.

”What is time? The shadow on the dial, the striking of the clock, the running of the sand, day and night, summer and winter, months, years, centuries -- these are but arbitrary and outward signs, the measure of Time, not Time itself. Time is the Life of the soul.”

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


Measures not time by the hours of the day or the seasons of the year but by how your life is spent.

Imagine.

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

- William Blake


Imagine.

Your imagination, my dear fellow, is worth more than you imagine.

-Louis Aragon


All realization starts with imagination.
