The Time Paradox
- Balancing how we use our time needs flexibility. If the focus is single-mindedly on a particular time perspective, one cannot lead a happy, well-lived life.
- Being in the future when one has to be in the present creates misery and conflict.
- We can live every moment to the maximum by dialling the right time perspective(past, present or future).
- The wealthiest people in the world who are running out of time know its value, and many of us waste(or kill) time as if it is unlimited.
