Att göra gott och rätt

I vissa stunder hamnar jag i tankar över vad jag uppnått i livet, vad jag vill uppnå och hur osv. Tiden flödar fram genom universum, tiden är inte bara en abstrakt tanke utan ett påtagligt mått över den tid vi har här på jorden. Vad gör vi med den tiden? I väst synnerligen så upplever jag att många slöar bort sin tid. Själv har jag knappt tid att sitta, men på vad lägger man sin tid? Lägger jag egentligen tiden på rätt saker? Det här får mig att tänka på ett av Selassie Is
tal och jag citerar nedan den relevanta delen.



"We have entrusted varous degrees of responsibility, guided by the example of Jesus Christ. Who, having declared "I came to serve you but not to be served by you", brought Himself low and washed the feet of His disciples, must render service to the people without charge for these services. As we have repeated many times over in our last pronouncement, We would like again to emphasise the value of time and urge you to dedicate yourselves to hard work - and profitably utilize your time.

There is no energy in the world, including that of the atom that can not be controlled. However, there is no scientist on earth who could control, even for a second the flow of time. For this reason never idle away your time, however, briefly.

Is it not you, her children that are referred to as Ethiopia? Our lasting hope has ever been, with help of the Almighty, to help promote the interest and wellbeing of Our people-not to get disillusioned by remote hopes and wishful thinking.

May the Almighty God help us in the fulfullment of all our undertakings."
-Haile Selassie I, September, 1959
