Time is like a Child
Time is Like a Child
"Time acts like a young child. As long as you're watching it, it'll stay put. But once you stop paying attention to it, it'll run off and next thing you know, you don't know where your time went." ~ mutant_jay
We spent the day at the beach yesterday beside the stormy ocean with clouds and driving wind and time sped and slowed before our very eyes or at least our perception of time did whether it was due to the weed or just lulls in our conversations. It was a strange effect and sparked off a few conversations about wasted time and the relativity of it.
Questions like What constitutes wasted time? is it wasted if you were enjoying yourself but accomplishing nothing? or do animals perceive time the same way we do? does it change depending on the size of the animal? Time is relative after all according to Einstein. So maybe there are creatures so large out of sphere of of viewable reality that each day is 1000 of our years. To them maybe our galaxy is just a mold colony forming on the edge of his coffee cup as it sits discarded on his desk.
"And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death." ~Pink Floyd - Time
Time is fleeting, cherish it. Cherish it and the moments we spend with the ones we love. The ones that give our time meaning. Theres not enough time to remain angry at people, if they continue bringing you grief let them go. Our time is too precious.
