Most of us cherish our time. We could be being productive, doing a good deed, feeling love, or feeling joy. Time is very precious to us.
Have you kept someone waiting for “only” a few minutes, or were you “fashionably late”? When you aren’t prompt or unavoidably delayed, you are guilty of theft – you are stealing their precious time.
Why is this serious? Because a stolen object may be returned, but time can never be. So please respect the valuable time of another.
