Time Adds Value, and Value Itself Changes Over Time

A profound truth of life. Time is not just a measure or an inevitable flow from moment to moment – it is a shaper, a creator of meaning. Over time, things, experiences, and relationships gain depth that may not be visible in the moment. What seems simple or fleeting today may become priceless years later – not in terms of material worth, but in its essential meaning in our lives.

At the same time, value itself changes over time. Our understanding of what is important, meaningful, or lasting is not set in stone – it matures along with us. In youth, value might lie in freedom and adventure. As life progresses, depth is added to that. What was once valuable may change, and what once seemed trivial may emerge as significant – precisely because of time.

Time does not diminish, but rather gives values their context, memories, and meanings that endure. It is worth understanding that not all values are immediately visible – some simply need… time to ripen.
