The quote "time is not running out, but it's building up" is discussed and debated. Is time running out or not? Can time be "built up" or is it better to describe experience, memories, and relationships being built, through wise use of your time?
Episode 26 of I Hate Talking starts with a discussion of the word "emblematic," defined as serving as a symbol of a particular quality or concept. The hosts discuss whether it's a newly popular word or if it's always been in use, but they're only now becoming aware of it. One host went on a mini-retreat for homeschool moms and shares a key takeaway, which causes a disagreement. The phrase was: "Time is not running out, it is building up." A debate ensues. The second host immediately rejects it, arguing time is running out and must be used wisely. The first host explains it's meant to encourage moms to focus on building relationships with their children during their limited time at home, rather than dwelling on the fleeting nature of childhood. The second host acknowledges that "building relationships" is a good use of time, but maintains the perspective that time is a finite resource.
The conversation shifts to a book recommendation, Anti-Time Management by Richie Norton, which the hosts both intend to read. They discuss a concept from the book, questioning whether people have 10 years of experience or 1 year repeated 10 times. This leads to a broader discussion on intentionally building experiences and relationships. They then debate whether the authors of these books believe it is possible to achieve a final destination with contentment. They ultimately circle back to their personal outlook, whether that means dwelling on what they are losing or dwelling on what they are gaining in the process. To close, the first hosts ask if the second host would say there is a difference between optimism and a hopeful person.
