If only we could turn back time

Time is one of the most important elements in our lives. It is a precious commodity that is entirely free to manage as we see fit. Scientists will tell us that it is constant and the only way to get more out of the same time is to do other things within our control faster. We cannot manipulate time; we cannot allocate more of it to ourselves, we cannot reduce or even steal it from others and we all have it in equal measure.  Despite the massive leaps in technology, we are unable to add even an extra second to a single day, whatever happens, it continues to tick away silently irrespective of whether we take advantage of its presence or not.
