There is a story that always comes back to my mind. I do not remember the exact words of the story. But, I remember the following:
One guy was sentenced to death. The judge gave him 5 minutes before proceeding with the decision. The guy started thinking of how to use those 5 minutes. He decided to spend 2 minutes with his family, 2 minutes with his friends and close ones, and the last minute to look at the world around him.
I know that this is a dark story. But, it shows how talented Fyodor Dostoevsky was in writing! Because, if we think of it, how many minutes do we have in a day that goes by without us feeling the importance of each minute?
Reading the story may make you think about those times where you were just waiting for something to end or just wasting time in something that doesn't mean something to you.
I didn't want this post to be very long. So, I will end it here with this question:
Isn't time is our most precious asset?
If yes, then why are we wasting it, when in fact, we don't know how much do we have of it?

Every time I start reading you I believe you will write something good but it always is short and ends abrupt and I wonder about what exactly you want to say. Why the warning? There's nothing dark I read. Did you delete that part.
The author you refer to most likely no one at this platform read, if they read at all.
Time is the most precious thing there is? Not to me. Time is a human invention and if I only had 5 minutes before the death sentence I doubt one has time to decide how to spend it. Most likely the stomach feels like a huge knot and the one I want to spend it with is too far away to be there within those 5 minutes (not even within 5 hours). I find it cruel to make people wait. If you go for death sentence don't be a fucking coward and do it immediately instead of letting them wait. 5 minutes, 5 years. 15 years... what is the point if you are sure that person has to die?
If this is meant for entertainment you missed the humouristic touch and could have add a video of a comedian. It's not an out-of-the-box entry where certain questions should be answered (or you could have said you have no intention to do so because you are on your deathbed and like to spend those last minutes in the way you like).

Well, I try to be straight to the point. Sometimes, I have more things to say than what I wrote. While, they are all connected. But, I still don't want to make it confusing or boring for the reader to go through it.
Well, for me it is fine. But, you never know. Sometimes, there are things that appear to be fine for one person. But, someone else will see it as offending statement. Therefore, the warning.
About time. I really liked this bit. Human invention? I haven't read the history of time. But, you're probably right. In regards to, whether time is the most important thing or not. It is a debatable topic. Letting them wait for 5 seconds is cruel? Well, the story itself was a part of a novel and the moral of the story is the importance of time.
The disclaimer says its for entertainment. But, it is not the sort that you've described. It's partially philosophical piece of text.
