Equally so, a thing of little importance can affect a multitude. Either way, a happening - big or small - can affect an entire string of people. Occurrences can join us all together. You see, we're all made up of the same stuff. When something happens, it triggers something inside us that connects us to a situation, connects us to other people, lighting us up and linking us like little lights on a Christmas tree, twisted and turned but still connected to a wire. Some go out, others flicker, others burn strong and bright, yet we are all on the same line. I said at the beginning of this story that this was about people who find out who they are. About people who are unraveled and whose cores are revealed to all who count. And that all that count are revealed to them. You thought I was talking about Lou Suffern and the Turkey Boy, about Raphie, Jessica, and Ruth, didn't you? Wrong. I was talking about each of us. A lesson finds the common denominatior and links us all together, like a chain. At the end of that chain dangles a clock, and on the face of the clock registers the passing of time. We see it and we hear it, the hushed tick-tock, but often we don't feel it. Each second makes its mark on every single person's life - comes and then goes, quietly disappearing without fanfare, evaporating into air like steam from a piping hot Christmas pudding. Enough time leaves us warm; when our time is gone, it leaves us cold. Time is more precious than gold, more precious than diamonds, more precious than oil or any valuable treasures. It is time of which we do not have enough; it is time that causes the war within our hearts, and so we must spend it wisely. Time cannot be packaged and ribboned and left under trees for Christmas morning. Time can't be given. But it can be shared.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Cecilia Ahern" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/cecilia-ahern/one-thing-of-great-importance-can-affect-a-small-number-of-people/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fe3/cecilia-ahern-35847_christmas-morning_one-thing-of-great-importance-can-affect_1239642.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fe3/cecilia-ahern-35847_christmas-morning_one-thing-of-great-importance-can-affect_1239642.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fe3/cecilia-ahern-35847_christmas-morning_one-thing-of-great-importance-can-affect_1239642.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“One thing of great importance can affect a small number of people.
