WE MATURE OVER TIME... NOT WITH TIME!

Time they say flies when you are having fun! Is it true that time changes? Time. Does it really move or we are the ones who move towards time.
By time here i do not make reference to a metal or ornament that denotes the weather or the season or a period in the day.
Again, i do not infer the chronological ornament that denotes the hour or minute or second.
By time here, i mean the all eternal presence- that, which has being, and is, and will continue to be. Does it really change?
I don't think so... Time remains still; but we as individuals rush into Time to cull from It, the experiences needed for our spiritual (maturity) growth.
Lets look at it from another perspective: We were born into Time... and even before we were born, Time has always been there and will continue to be there after our departure.
Time does not change. We are the ones who change inwardly as we get more mature with the lessons we have learnt over time.
I will take you back a little bit...
Consider when you were younger or better still, that period in your life when you thought you have reached the age of maturity.
Now, from that period uptil this moment, do you think you have changed considerably inwardly? Anyone who wants to be truthful to himself, would say 'yes'!
We have changed over time because we are now more matured as a result of the lessons Time has taught us.
Imagine if it were possible to extract from us, all the lessons and experiences we have learnt and acquired over time... What would become of us?
We would practically become big babies with blank slate for brains. We would assume a seemingly preposterous innocence for our age. But Time would still be there. Its only our experiences that has been taken away from us.
We don't change with time... we change over time...
Time is the ultimate recorder of events and our passage through It... It does not change! We do!

Yes, we definitely change over time, the decisions we make in life portrays how much we have changed in terms of maturity.
