All the time in the world

All the time in the world

The story is about a bookworm Henry Bemis. He had a passion for reading and was often scolded for it. His wife sabotaged his books and was on the verge of losing his job, he still continued to do what he loved. His hobby of reading lead him going to the basement, while he was reading he came across an article which said that there was a bomb capable of total annihilation. when the bomb set off he went around to discover that he was the only one left.

 He walked around and saw a library filled with books, he got everything and sorted everything out. He then thought since he had all the time in the world, he could do everything he wants without being told off. Then his needs started popping up, like where to get food and other stuff. When he accidentally tripped and broke his glasses, he started crying and then he realized that having all the time in the world isn’t enough when you’re the only one left.

I think the moral of the story tells us that not everything can be done alone. He wanted to kept doing what he wanted. It tells us that we should learn to manage our time, it shouldn’t always be about fun, we have to set time for our priorities. Even if science has made our life easier, it could also make life a lot harder. There are different countries with weapons of mass destruction, it shouldn’t come to a point that if everything is gone that’s when we’ll make up for what we lost. We should always limit ourselves to what we have to do and what not.
