“Time stays, we go”
— H. L. Mencken
Simplified Meaning:
Time itself doesn’t change; it keeps going without stopping. People, on the other hand, are always moving forward in life. Think of it like a river that flows endlessly. You can stand by it and see the same water moving past. Over the years, that river remains the same, but you grow up, move to different places, and your life changes. A good example is old photographs. When you look at pictures from your childhood, you see how much you’ve changed and grown over the years. The time when those photos were taken stayed the same, but you have moved from being a child to an adult. To apply this idea, recognize that time is always there and we are the ones who grow and change. Make the most of your moments now, because once they pass, you can’t get them back. Be mindful of your actions and live fully, appreciating the time you have.
