19 photos that show in a fascinating way the passing of time ... and the continued evolution of positive feelings.
Time rolls on relentlessly, and it is not always easy to live with this thought.
Yet, it is precisely this awareness that should serve to encourage us to live each moment of our lives with greater intensity and fullness, appreciating it as a unique gift.
In this way, we are able to look back at the past without experiencing bitter remorse or regret but instead smile due to remembering what we were and what we have lived and experienced.
In fact, the following photos show that observing the evolution of time can be both a pleasure and a privilege.
