I would like to share an observation from Machiavelli's The Prince: "The Romans never liked the dictum we constantly hear from the wise men of our day, that time will take care of things... the Romans liked to take care of things... because time will sweep everything before it and can bring good things as well as bad, bad things as well as good" (14),

I'm not sure why I liked this so much, except to say that I often fall back on time as if it were my back yard hammock. If I don't want to bother with something, I avoid it, figuring that time will work it out in the end. Of course, I'm not much of a Roman. Like the wise men of our day, I am far more likely to let time take care of things.
