A time to every purpose

"There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven:

A time to give birth, & a time to die; A time to plant, & a time to uproot what is planted. A time to kill, & a time to heal; A time to tear down, & a time to build up. A time to weep, & a time to laugh; A time to mourn, & a time to dance. A time to throw stones, & a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, & a time to shun embracing. A time to search, & a time to give up as lost; A time to keep, & a time to throw away. A time to tear apart, & a time to sew together; A time to be silent, & a time to speak. A time to love, & a time to hate; A time for war, & a time for peace."



From great matters to frivolous things, we frequently feel overwhelmed by anxiety and/or frustration about the "wrong timing", delaying, or interruption of some eventualities. Unconsiously, we focus on the speed rather than the destination, for it is seldom that two things can be given equal attention. Ergo, if we don't hold our horses, they may take us in the wrong direction, and plausibly collide; we lose control of our thoughts, our actions, and, therefore, ourselves... Let's not forget, that those who can't master themselves, can't master anything, and when we are in our own power, then we're truly powerful.



It is not about conformity, but about acceptance - "omnia tempus habent et suis spatiis transeunt universa sub cælo" (Ecclesiastes 3)



After all, what do we know about the "fitting time"?
