Time value of self

When I was kid,
There used show this story
The inital started with a background
And the harsh voice used to say
"Meh Samay hu"
"I am time"
What funny thing is time
In finance we have learned
Time value of money
Time has great powers
But often when we think of ourselve
Of doing something big in future
Of overcoming an obstacle
We often put our self
As what we are feeling today
Into that situation
We don't give time a value
We make a promise
And in full honestly
But we forget to discount
For time
We forget that we will
not be the same
That time will change us
That things then will much difference
Than they are today
And you know why we do this
We do this
Because of ego
which tells us that you have been
one constant person
That the Ram of today
is the Ram of years ago
They are the same person
Thus making a coherent story
Of who you were in the past
And what you will be in future
And as a result
This "sense of I"  lives through time
This one thing that have seen it all
Is capable of finite things
Projects the past into the future
