Time travels at different speeds for different people.
I can tell you who time strolls for, who it trots for,
who it gallops for, and who it stops cold for.
― William Shakespeare,

i planted hope where no one would see
tended the quiet, the calm, the plea
and yet they took what i had sown
a prize, a medal, a fame of their own
my hands grew weary, my heart stayed true
while coins fell into a stranger’s view
the world may cheer for another’s name
but peace is mine, it cannot be claimed
i stand unbowed, my spirit wide
the honor lives deep, it will not hide
no gold, no prize, no public acclaim
can erase the fire that still burns the same
Imagination doesn’t grow from what we consume passively; it grows from what we wrestle with, reinterpret, and internalize. A screen delivers images ready-made, complete, finished. A book forces the mind to become the missing architect
to build the worlds, give faces to characters, and animate silence with meaning. The difference isn’t moral; it’s structural. One stream keeps you inside the frame. The other invites you to redraw it.
