the value of time

who has experienced the loss of something which makes life seem not worth living.
lost countries, lost communities, lost time, loss of the joy of eating, loss of self respect, loss of the sense of well being, loss of your place in the world, loss of friends, lost opportunity, loss of a loved one, loss of love, loss of money, loss of your mind from the loss of all these things.
How many people have not experienced every one of those at one time or another.  There is no way to go on, and yet we go on.  We go on and we find moments of joy in life after everything else is lost at one time or another..
There is time for happiness in life, there is not time for sorrow, for regret, for anger.  Even so, there are times when we cannot find a true friend, or when we've lost a friend or where someone we thought was a friend turned on us or, a time when we've let down a friend.
The only way to go on after a lifetime, is to forgive yourself, because no one else can forgive you for all the crimes you've committed.
The crimes people know have been committed are nothing compared to those which are unknown except to the criminal.  The crimes against ourselves.
We are given a small amount of time and we spend it without accounting for its value.  We pass the hours without regard for the fact that they can never be changed, can never be recaptured.
What comes next?
