Vocabulary: time flies - English lesson
TIME ... The time you "find", the one you "waste", the one you "save"; the TIME you "have", you "don't have" or don't have enough; the TIME you "kill", or that you "spend", the one you address: "Time, Stop flying away!" 
It can heal too ...
TIME is part of everybody's life, of course, and of all our conservations. It's the absolute and unrivalled Master, a tyrant, it you submit to it; when you think you're "wasting" it, you can't catch up with it... It's limited, and that's why it's precious... even if you refuse that "Time is money" 
... everybody's "duty" and "pleasure" is to take advantage of it, simply, to ENJOY it!
