Once upon a time, there was a clock that ticked relentlessly, measuring the passing of seconds, minutes, and hours. People relied on it to adjust their lives and schedules, to catch trains, appointments, and meetings. Hours turned into days, days into weeks, and weeks into years, marking the fleeting nature of time. But for some, time was a foe, a constraint, a curse. They wished they could slow it down, stop it, or turn it back. Others embraced it, savoring every moment, every experience, every memory. They knew that time was precious, irreversible, and priceless. And so, they lived, loved, and laughed, knowing that time was both finite and infinite, both a burden and a blessing. The clock kept ticking, unstoppable, unrelenting, reminding them that time was the only thing they couldn't buy, borrow, or steal. They had to make the most of it, use it wisely, and cherish it while they could. For time waits for no one, and it never will.
