How do you have time to hate?

When time equals money, using time for hatred seems dumb.

Time is a limited resource. As a middle-aged person, society tells me that I might be more than halfway through my life. As a person who has had a few 90-plus relatives, I can see that maybe I will get another 40 years…but this is a short time! It is less than I have lived so far.

So, I value my months, days, and hours. My question about these haters is: Why do the racist people seem to have so much time to hate? My follow-up question is: Time pretty much seems to travel at the same speed for everybody, so don’t they have better ways to spend their time?

A brief history of “Time waits for no one.” “Time waits for no one” is a fairly common phrase. It means that however you decide to spend your time—no matter if your chosen activities are for a good purpose, a bad purpose, or if you decide to be neutral — the world keeps moving at the same rate.

For example, you might decide to stay home but all the stores will still open. You might decide to blow up the hospital but babies will still come into the world. You might decide to stop and help someone who has a flat tire and that makes you a hero but you are still late for whatever you had planned to do in that time.
