As for me, I recently lost my mother, and now both of my parents are gone from this world.
To be honest, my feelings towards my parents are complicated.
"Thanks to you..."
"Because of you..."
These two thoughts are intertwined in my heart.
But ultimately, I now feel a strong sense of gratitude for thinking of me.
Time is the same.
The moment I feel or realize its importance is when I waste it. I am overwhelmed with regret.
For example, recently, when I am fiddling with my smartphone.
I intend to use it to get only the necessary information, the information I truly want,
but I end up getting distracted by unrelated information, reading articles, or watching videos.
Afterwards, my heart is filled with the stress of feeling that my time has been stolen.
I am 100% occupied with the unpleasant thought that I could have used it more meaningfully.
But this feeling arises precisely because I have an abundance of time.
This can also be said about parents.
"Even though I don't want to be filial, my parents are there."
Humans are really creatures that don't mesh well.

The moment you feel the importance of time, your experiences and emotions are well conveyed. The complex feelings of losing a parent and the regret of wasting time are things that many people can relate to.
I also feel the importance of time when I feel I have wasted it. Especially when I am fiddling with my smartphone, intending to get only the necessary information, but end up getting distracted by unrelated information, reading articles, or watching videos. Afterwards, I feel that my time has been stolen and regret that I could have used it more meaningfully.
Both time and parents are often only appreciated after they are lost. Humans are really creatures that don't mesh well.
