Time

Long ago I heard the story of "Howard" who was given the task on introducing a speaker to a large audience.  Howard gave the speaker his time limitation and then added, "I'm a dying man.  Nothing will embarrass me, so if you go over four minutes I welcome up and grab you by the ear and drag you off the podium."

When all is well and youthful blood courses our veins time is irrelevant.  As we grow older and the visage if the Angel of Death, Malekh Ha-Mavet, comes close time is most precious.  Maybe we can learn this lesson earlier in life.....

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
