Time is Money





Time is money it is often said.  But I wonder: what does that really mean?  If you aren't producing you are wasting not only time, but money.  But that just confuses me.  You cannot waste time.  Time does not exist.  But then what is the best use of your time?  And how do you get money if you don't use time to get it?  Oh, the conundrum!  Or is it a paradox?  I love them both.  And this is definitely both.  A conundrum because without time, you can't make money.  Without money, you may not have control of your time.  And if time doesn't exist, well, who cares?  And remember, money is just medium invented to barter and exchange...much like time was invented to keep track of your progess and your appointments.

Now I am thinking it might me wise you use your money to have some fun.  Be creative.  This picture intrigued me.  Someone created this amazing sculpture by stacking hundreds of dimes.  Do you know how much time this  probably took?  And, yes, it shows that it take time to make money into something more than just, well, money.  

So there it is.  Time is money.  Money is time.  It is all relative.  One is as real as the other and neither is real when it comes right down to it, a conundrum in a paradox wrapped in a riddle.  That I beleive called living in the realm of symbols and meaning.
