No one can put a value to time, precisely because time has no intrinsic value. However, there is a dilemma with this otherwise arbitrary measure of human aging: It cannot currently be regained. Therein lies the importance of using every bit of time to its fullest. The issue, of course, is that this is seldom the case, even for mortals. Strangely enough, the mortals seem the most willing to whittle their few years away for paltry recompense.
Perhaps recompense is not the word to be used here. Satisfaction would probably be suffice. They set their standards so low that paltry satisfaction would be gained for an otherwise irreplaceable portion of their mortal existence. I presume that the only logical explanation for this illogical action would be that these ephemeral mayflies seek only to hasten their end, that they can numb themselves to the meaningless drudgery of daily existence. Alas, some do not have the luxury of even that.
