I think the message the author wants to say to us is that time is something we can't control. Spend the time we have now and learn to cherish what we have in the present.

In some way, all their conflicts we're the same, and that was time. Dor loved it too much, Sarah hated it, and Victor wanted more of it.

But before the end, Dor (Who is Father Time), stops them and freezes time for them to see what beholds in their future.

Dor's purpose was to stop them, and it worked. Sarah lived and Victor fought cancer as long as he could.

Sarah became a doctor and found a cure for cancer, Victor left a legacy, and Dor went back to the past.

Resolution

They all realized that the most important time, is the present time. Where we spend time with family, loved ones, friends. They made sure to spend the time wisely and live like there's no tomorrow.

Moral of the Story

The moral of the story for me was that time is something we can't change. We can't have more of it, but we also can't have less of it. Time is forever moving, every inhale and exhale, time is always ticking. It doesn't matter what you do tomorrow, and it doesn't matter what you did in the past, our lives should always stay in the present. Live in the present because you never know what joy it brings to live life to the fullest. In other words, focus on what you have right now, cherish the moments that are in front of you, and love the life that nobody has except for you. I will apply this lesson in real-life situations by cherishing each moment of my day and night, because things won't always be the same, everyday is a different day, seasons change, the earth rotates, I'll live each moment happily with a smile on my face.
