Time is Not A Healer

You’ve probably heard or even said that a particular situation will get better with time. You might also have been told, if you’ve been fortunate enough to have had your heat broken, that time heals wounds. I’ve said it myself on a couple of occasions. We hear maxims that tell us time is a great healer and that time solves problems. I wish it were true.
Time is neither a healer nor a problem solver. No wound gets healed because of time alone. That is simply because time is not a force. Time cannot do work. Time will also not do work. Time will allow you do work. Time itself will not do the work. Time is an opportunity for everybody to live. It is one of the foundations of our existence on earth. We know our world as it is because of time.
If you have any healing to do then start getting it done. Pick the pieces of your broken heart up and apply a healthy dose of super glue or top gum. Leave it out to dry and before long you’ll have your heart all patched up and ready for more breaking. Don’t leave anything to time. You’ll be sorely disappointed. Tomorrow will only be better if today lays a good foundation for her. Don’t say time will tell. Time does not have a mouth. It doesn’t gossip.
Newton was such a genius. He told us that force is the only thing that changes inertia. Force will either make you start or stop moving. Time will not do it because time is not a force. Pretty clear, isn’t it? I would say it is. So, get a move on. Stop if you need to. Your journey and destination are dependent on you not on the passage of time.
One of the best lessons I’ve learnt is that nothing moves until somebody or something moves it. My coaches taught me that long before Newton did. They showed me time isn’t a force long before Physics told me the same thing. They told me to hit the road and to hit it in grand style. You could spend ages on Antarctica and you’ll remain there, probably grow some mushrooms on your head as you get older. Someone else will spend those ages trekking and after a generation spent changing worn soles and drinking tons and tons of water, escaping wild beasts and sleeping in unfriendly caves, that someone will get to the North Pole wearing a semblance of clothes, balancing on an ugly stick and smiling with whatever if left of his/her/its teeth. Time didn’t do it. Worn soles and lots of food and many other things did. Simply, time will not change your position in space. That is solely your responsibility or the responsibility of any meteorite you’re fortunate enough to remain in its path. Your speed notwithstanding, start walking and keep walking till you get to the North Pole, Antarctica or whatever your destination is.
Get a move on or hitch your belt hooks to a moving locomotive. Either case will ensure you’re on the move and that you wear out some shoes in the process. Isn’t that great? It’s good news that you don’t have to depend on time to sort out your feelings for you. Who knows how long time will take? Time might not even like you and would therefore decide to leave you in your misery. How awful! Good news! Your healing is your responsibility as is your prosperity, poverty and family size (imagine time determining how many kids you’ll have). You choose what to make out of your life. Choose where to go and get a move on. Don’t carry the victim mentality. Take responsibility and be a verb- a doing person.
Me, I'd rather be free, free to walk and fail, free to be right and to be wrong, free to choose when to be still and when to be a-moving. I'd rather be free to choose my life than be bound to a self confined prison.
