Wasting Time

Time cannot be saved, neither can it be wasted. Time can only be spent at its own pace. So what happens when one has, by one's own definition, been forced to waste years of one's own time? The time does not disappear. Experiences are gained every moment one spends living life in awareness of time's passage. So, for one who knows whose time was wasted, time was not truly wasted for one was already aware of that state of affairs. However, much time is wasted in unaccounted-for moments. That is unforgivable, for one lives life for the sake of existing, rather than the sake of living. One has not truly lived, who floats through life as if in a daze, hoping that things will work out. Only memories exist to prove that time has passed. And memories that are written can never be forgotten, only lost in the world or erased.
