The Test of Importance

An appointed time will always happen. Nothing can ever be 'put off'. Only things that don't matter can be safely forgotten. This can be the test of importance. Something important will not go away and keeps returning. 'Time and tide wait for no man' (late 14th century proverb): you can try to avoid an issue by dodging it. Ignoring it. But if it is important it will keep getting in your way.
