Time's Up Day

In the Magic Land from the 1949 film "Cinderella", where everyone present at the ball was transported, it was possible to stay only 9 minutes 10 seconds and not a moment longer The end of the allotted time was reminded by a stern voice-over: “Your time is up Your time is up” After this warning, Cinderella and the other guests who were present at the ball sadly returned from the country where everyone was pleased to be, to the royal palace The phraseology “time has expired” appeared in the language thanks to the water clock The design in the form of two communicating vessels was invented in Ancient Babylon more than 25 thousand years ago Marks were applied to the walls of cylindrical containers that displayed the passage of time A water clock, shaped like an hourglass, measured the hours of the day or the minute allotted for a defense lawyer or prosecutor to speak in court When the vessel was completely empty, it was stated: “Time has expired” Today, a timer is used for these purposes The fact that time has expired is indicated by a sharp signal at the end of a minute of discussion, given to experts from “What? Where? When?”, the inscription The game is over at the end of the computer game This does not evoke joy and positive emotions among gamers who are ready to continue the fight they have begun with ardor and excitement The Time's Up Day holiday, which translates as Time's Up Day, on the contrary, is associated with pleasant events Every person has had cases in his life when small disagreements with friends and loved ones grew into serious resentment and silent confrontation This conflict can last forever if you don’t say “Stop!” Time`s Up Day encourages you to change your anger to mercy, forget about the quarrel and make peace with those who are dear to you Because the time allotted for conflict and confrontation is up The founders of this unusual holiday believe that at least once a year you need to think and weigh the pros and cons in order to understand: are the differences that have arisen really so irreconcilable? Upon closer examination, it often turns out that the conflict is not worth a damn So is it worth wasting your time and life energy confronting your children, parents, friends or work colleagues? Time's Up Day encourages you to bury the hatchet, admit your guilt, apologize and leave all quarrels in the past World history knows examples when it was enough for one sensible person to take one step in order to end a serious conflict that cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of people This was the decision of Henry VII of Lancaster to marry Elizabeth of York, which put an end to the War of the Scarlet and White Roses, which lasted almost 30 years Finding the strength within yourself and, like the king of medieval England, recognizing that the incident is over, calls for Time's Up Day
