-Time is sometimes drawn or personified as Old Father Time, an old man with a long beard and a sickle. Death likwise is personified as a man with a sickle. These two men-with-a-sickle seem to be one and the same man, prompting some to ask "Why, if God is both good and omnipotent, would He make it to be that diseases and death are the consequences of certain acts?" The answer is that a wise and capable leader is such that not only does he get material satisfaction for all his efforts to make his domain to flourish, he actively discourages any would-be tyrants from achieving a paradigm which is less than---i.e., 'alternate' to---a flourishing one. In other words, no kingdom flourishes but that which flourishes. So, pain, dysfunction, and death are active measures which God uses to discourage any acts that are contrary to the human role of making the Creation to flourish. Humans themselves even wish for such a Creation; But, in their fallen state, humans do not so constantly wish to abide a way of life which functions toward that end; In fact, fallen humans sometimes purposely cause needless pain and dysfunction to other creatures, including to other humans, in a selfish effort to obtain personal triage for things which only an unfallen Creation can unfailingly provide.

-Only within the unrealistic Libertarian ideal is a person truly free to take any action which is not already (commonly) known to be macrologically damaging to any presently or futurely living person. So, the Libertarian ideal fails to account for its own premise of general goodness. This means that the Libertarian ideal fails to admit to itself that the world is not made for unrighteousness at all, but was made for an original state of natural harmony in which the inescapably inter-open state of reality is the only state conducive to a flourishing of human efforts to recreate an Edenic way of life across the globe.

 So, time is a valuable resource, and each person has the responsibility not to squander the gift of time by engaging in unproductive activities such as watching [[television]], senseless bickering or frequenting worthless websites on the internet, and instead to use their time industriously for the betterment of society and the greater [[glory]] of [[God]]. [[Conservative values]] can be a helpful aid to achieving this objective.
