WRITING


   ''Time is your enemy. It will steal everything away from you''.

To begin, we have to be conscious that time is a concept , therefore we cannot buy time or sell it.
On the one hand, there are people who think that, in fact, time can steal everything away from us. For example, they say that when we are doing something that we like a lot, it ends so fast; and when we are doing something that we don't like much, we get bored and it is difficult to carry on with it. So their conclusion is that time is our traitor.
On the other hand, there is a group who thinks that time cannot steal everything from us. It is clear that, as time goes by, we miss our beauty, youth, maybe memory as well; but aspects like intelligence, money...can never be stolen from us.
To conclude, I have to say that time goes on and we die. I am in favour of the two satements I explained previously because I have experimented a little of both. So, what can we do? Just try to enjoy what we are doing.
