Once, there lived a child. He lived in a happy family,
with parents and siblings. However, he never stopped to
think about how wonderful his life had been. He just kept
on playing, squabbling with his siblings when they did not
want to play what he wanted to play. However, when he wanted
to apologize, he always said, "Never mind, there's
tomorrow."
When he grew up a little, school was a very nice place
for him. He learned, made friends, and was very happy. However,
he never thought that this was happiness to him. It all
came so naturally that he felt it should become part of
his life. One day, he had a great fight with his best friend.
Though he knew he was in the wrong, he never took the initiative
to apologize or made up with his best friend. His excuse
was, "Never mind, I'll do it tomorrow."
When he grew up yet some more, that best friend was no
longer part of his. Even though he still sees his friend
around, but they don't even greet each other. But that was
all right, because he still had other good friends. He and
his friends did almost everything together, eating, playing,
doing homework, and fooling around. Yes, they were another
bunch of very good friends.
When he graduated, work kept him very busy. He's found
himself a very pretty and virtuous girlfriend and she soon
became his constant companion. He made himself busy with
work, because he wanted to get promoted to the highest position
with the shortest time possible.
Sure, he missed his good friends. He missed them a lot.
But he never got down to keep in touch with them, not even
a telephone call. He always said, "Boy, I'm so tired,
I'll catch up with them tomorrow." It didn't affect
him at all because he could find colleagues who are always
willing to go pubing with him. Thus, as time passes by,
he's forgotten to call his friends.
After he's got married with kids, he works even harder
in order to bring comfort to his family. He never buys flowers
for his wife anymore, nor does he remember his wife's birthdays
and wedding anniversary. It was all right because his wife
always understood him, and never blamed him. Of course,
he felt guilty at times and wanted very much to have a chance
to say to his wife "I love you", but he never
got down to doing it. His excuse was "never mind, I'll
do it tomorrow for sure". He never made it to his children's
birthday parties, but his time he did not knew how it would
affect the children. The children began to drift away from
him, as they never really spent time with their father.
One day, disaster struck when his wife was killed in an
accident. It was a hit and run accident. But on that day,
he was in the middle of a meeting. Failing to understand
that it is a fatal accident, he arrived by his wife's deathbed
only to see her on the verge of death. Before he could mouth
out the words "I love you", his wife had already
passed away.
The man became despondent and tried to find solace in his
children after his wife's death. However, he soon realized
that the children do not even try to communicate with him.
Soon, his children have grown up and found their own families.
Nobody cared for this old man who in the past hadn't spared
his time for them.
He moved into the best Old Folk's Home, which provides
excellent service with the money he has saved for him and
his wife's 50th, 60th, and 70th anniversary celebrations.
All the money intended to go to Hawaii, New Zealand, and
other countries went into the fund that pays for his stay
in the home.
From that time until his deathbed, there were only old
folks and nurses taking care of him. He now felt the loneliness
that he did not feel before. Upon his deathbed, he called
a nurse in and said to her, "Ah. If only I had realized
this earlier... " and died with tears upon his cheek.
What I am trying to tell you is time never stops. You go
on and on, and before you realized it, you've already gone
very far. If you had quarreled, make up quickly!
If you feel you need to hear your friend's voice, don't
hesitate to pick up the phone.
If there are many dreams that you wish to fulfill, fulfill
them as soon as possible.
Lastly, but most importantly, if you feel you need to tell
somebody that you care, don't wait until it is too late.
If you keep thinking you will do that another day, then
that day will never come. If you always think that tomorrow
will come, then 'tomorrow' will run out quickly and you'll
realize the time that you've left behind you.
