Corporate America

As I read this question two different aspects come to mind. I take the "Time is a gift" from a religion aspect and "Time as Money" from a business aspect (aka Corporate America). "Time is a gift" is how we should approach life at all times. Considering time on this world is uncertain we should cherish what time we are given. However in society working is a must to provide for oneself. You can't enjoy life to its fullest extent when you're working all the time. Instead we take vacations visiting big cities or travel to enjoy the beauty of another country. "Time is a gift" is only considered when one is critically injured or in recovery from an illness.
