Time Well Spent

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)

"Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend." Diogenes Laetius 

Time defines our mortal existence.  How we spend our limited time determines the quality of that existence.  The wise investment of our most precious, finite resource yields the richest rewards.  Paradoxically, the intemperate use of "time-saving" digital diversions of our day can rob us of "real-time" interaction with loved ones.  

In that vein, I would assert that the decision to "sacrifice" the time set aside to compose a lengthier article for a heartfelt, extended conversation with a younger sister would indicate that  today was well-lived indeed.
