11:59pm. One more minute to the next day. The transition phase from today to tomorrow. What are we thinking of? What are we doing?

Many a times we hate this dreadful period because we do not want to part with the day's joy but we are helpless to the passing of time. This very timing is what causes a dilemma as it sometimes is the longest minute to wait but is also the quickest time to pass. Think of this scenario: You are with a couple of your close friends at a nice relaxing out of town cafe having a nice drink and a comfortable sofa chilling out and catching on the lost moments. You take a look at your watch and is spelled 11:59. You got something on the next day( be it school, work or even going to church). What do you do? On the other hand, you had an argument with someone close and he/she have hurt you very much. You keep watching at the clock at wonder why it is still 11:59 after so long.

What can we do? What should we do? Either way, it is the hour when we are most vulnerable. In the former, I just hope I can stay with my close friends. Everyone under the same roof. We would not miss each other and we can spend time together and need not worry about going home. But life isn't always a sweet dream. In reality, how close we are, the day when we have to part is still very real. We cannot avoid the truth that nothing last. Even so when we are feeling down, counting the minutes in our life. Time may seem stagnant but it will still pass no matter how long we have waited.

In today's life, we are very awake at this very timing. But we are doing other things like gaming or watching TV instead of reviewing what we did for the day. We often overlook this very time and we turn back and regret on what we have done.

I myself am a victim of this tragedy. I took too lightly of this and I overlook on 11:59. When I go out with my friends I hate to look at my watch. It is the thing that turns my mood 180 degree around. The point I am making is that we should treasure the time of everything, whether good or bad. No matter how bad or good the day is, it has still to come to this time when we have to part with all the feelings of the day. We shouldn't take it too hard because no matter what, it will still pass. "Nothing last, neither friends nor foes". A new understanding is the good and bad things of life.
