What is the worth of
your time?
First what is TIME?
Time
is a relative term relative not only in terms of periodicity but also in terms
of how one’s mind space values its relevance.
Over simplistically TIME
is some slice of measureable period or moment.
Intrinsically, TIME
is the mind space that relates with or occupies itself with whatever happens
outside.
Mind space also includes how it relates with inward moment of
thoughts and feelings as in rumination or remembrance or recapitulation.
Now what is worthiness?
Worthiness
is again a relative term.
Worthiness
is relative based on the ‘value
measurement’ one uses to assess it.
The term ‘Value’
is again relative and very carelessly used to refer to too many things.
Literally, Value refers to some transactional measurable
material, like money, goods, products etc.
Some people use the term value
as connotation to refer to some
regional or religious traditions or socio-cultural life style practices and
habits
(Healthy, unhealthy, ritualistic, rational, culturally
ingrained, socially preferred behavior patterns, ideas and ideals internalized
through upbringing etc).
However relative these three terms TIME, WORTHINESS and VALUES may be, they also manifest in many ways how
inter-related or interlinked they are.
Therefore, no slice of Time made by any civilization with all
its Calendared celebration of festivities can claim with axiomatic certitude
that this is the best or even a better approximation than the rest.
Similarly, no evaluation or quantification of Worthiness or
value of Time can be universally applied.
Let them remain relative but let us relate in ways whereby we
can enhance values and increase worthiness to time we spent.
To effect that enhancement all the three i.e. Time, Worthiness
and value, it would be preferable that they manifest and prioritize to ensure through
their usage and functionality the following:-
Good Quality of whatever is being used as trade off;
Sanity and
Sense of balance in the way one deals with anything or anyone;
Adopting an
attitude of Humanitarianism and Concern for all other species as well;
Evaluation of everything and everyone based in their intrinsic attributes and merits and
their contextual relevance;
Observing with curiosity but without bias the march
of evolution weaving it patterns of synthesis and create synergy;
Avoiding interpreting and extrapolating based on any specific preconceived perspectives;
for, ultimately life is always lively and moving around unmindful of and
unwilling to stop for any different reference points or measurement of time and
values of worthiness or worthiness of values.
