Summary

This quote likens time to the Mississippi River, emphasizing its unidirectional nature. Just like the river flows continuously forward, time moves only in one direction, making it impossible to revisit or change the past. It emphasizes the idea that once a moment has passed, it can never be regained or altered, serving as a reminder to embrace the present and make the most of the time we have.
