There is a reason God limits our days

Why?

To make each one precious.

The final answer of the main question posed in The Timekeeper affected me in no ways any other book has. Mitch Albom's work of inspirational fiction, I believe, has stopped time for me. Believe it or not, I started reading The Time Keeper only yesterday, at midnight, and if I calculate correctly, it took me less than 6 hours to finish reading it. How? Maybe Father Time has moved his hourglass for me. 

The Time keeper may be of a fictional work, but the content is far from fiction. It tells us the tale about time, and the meaning of it. How the first man to measure the time, Dor, is trapped in eternity, not age even a day, without his love, Alli, besides him. Inside his little cave Dor watches as men plea for time, for less and for more. Dor is now known as Father Time. Thousand years have gone by, and the time for him to write the end of his story has come. He learns the true meaning of time, of life and of his sentence, through the life of 2 other people of very different worlds, Victor and Sarah. Dor was given a mission to change the fate of humans through these 2 people; one who wants more time and the other who wants to stop the time, and at the same time finding an answer to his question, why God limits our days. When Dor finished his mission, he's allowed to close his book of life, and time starts ticking again for him, in his right time.

The Time Keeper makes it clear for me of the consequences of time. How it makes humans impatient, always keeping track of time, inventing hundred phrases with 'time' in it, and how time has become so significant it reduces meaning of life itself. By the end of the book, as the writer gives us the final answer, my perspectives about time has changed. And I've become less afraid about what will happen tomorrow, and of the end of time. In the end, like each grain of sands in Father Time's hourglass, life is precious, and time shouldn't limit us from living the day.
