Timing:

Time. An eternal thing that existed before us and will exist after us. It does not stop for anyone. For anything. It continues to march forward, unraveling future for all of us and the Universe until there will be nothing left to unravel for.

Time is considered sacred that many cultures equate it to the God. I would like to say that I agree with it. If time is God, the quality that grants the superiority is its Non-reversibility - that a moment once gone, it is almost impossible to have it in the same way again. Or I just want to call - Timing.

To crack a good joke. To propose to your loved one. To take up a new work.  To catch up on a pending task. Timing is of utmost important.

Any amount of effort goes waste if we don't do it within the right window. The regret of missing the timing is sometimes irreversible. It may cost us the whole life to recover.

But how do we know timing is right?

Honestly, we may never know. More than often, we know in only hindsight. But the thing is this: We don't need to have the perfect timing. Just we need to know when the timing is not bad.

We need to be careful about our mind when we assign proper timing to a work. Especially if we think that "I have a lot of time, will figure this out". My dear friend, we're not dealing with evolution. It's a human life, which can take any turn in unexpected ways. People, tastes, rules or anything can change beyond our expectations.

However, I want to note that we will for sure miss the timing for few things. Maybe you two would have lived together if you had asked her one year later. The fact remains that we can never predict an outcome. But you should not avoid things if you are solely afraid of the outcome.

It requires wisdom to differentiate which task can be taken up immediately and which cannot be. Also it is a wisdom to know that timing a thing does not mean hurrying up in a haste. It is a delicate dance performed on the thread of time...

Even time itself is not eternal. So we should better not think that ours is. From the next time, if you are unsure, give it a thought just once more.
