Standing still

Each time I glanced at the clock on the wall, the meeting felt longer.

After 45 minutes (and maybe my third time checking) I realized that the minute hand hadn’t moved at all; the clock had a dead battery.

Time can seem fleeting. Other times, it can drag on.

And sometimes, it’s really just a dead battery that causes our suffering.

The lesson: our emotions can be highly influenced by what time we think it is — regardless of the actual time.
