The perception of Time
Ok today we are going to discuss time and people's perspective of time. Well in my opinion time is measured by your age. The longer you have been alive, the faster time moves for you. The reason for this is because humans measure time by, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks and years. But most also forget we base everything on past experiences. So for this blog today I am going to use age. Lets start at the age of four, because I feel that alot of people do not become really self a where tell the age of four an above. When you are a little kid at the age of four and you want something to come like your birthday or Christmas. It seems if like it takes forever and until I really thought about it I never understood why. Thats's because we measure time against how old we are and don't really even know we are doing it. So if a year is three hundred and sixty five days and a person is four they have been alive for one thousand four hundred and sixty days. When you look at time at a young age, the reason things take forever is simple. You are measuring a fourth of your live against when a day in a year will come. As you get older things start to move faster and most aren't sure why either. Again without actually knowing it you are measuring time with your age. As I am slowly getting older I am noticing this already. Days seem to move faster than they use to. I look at the clock sometimes and go wow were did the day go. A year to me can seem like a few months and before I know it, it's already summert to winter and so on. If you use my theory of time and look at it as a whole it's all based on perspective. Keep in mind as you get older things are going to move even faster. Before you know it years feel like weeks and days feel like hours. I feel if we could see time a different way then we wouldn't feel if though it is moving like this. Anyways just food for thought, hope you like it. =P
