Quote of the day

Seinfeld: I love women, I watch women…Men watch women…we don’t understand them so we think we’d better keep an eye on them!

Why our days are getting shorter?

It’s the end of the March already and I still can’t figure out how the hell it passed so quickly! Some people blame it on monotonous and repetitive life we’re leading these days but personally, I’ve never been more active in my entire life. My daily schedule is certainly more fruitful, fun and comprehensive in every possible way compare to, for example, what I was doing in late years of elementary or early years of high school. Yet I still can remember how I could felt the weight and the length of EVERY SINGLE DAY back then whereas I can not feel weeks and even months right now, although I was leading much more monotonous life back then.

The only explanation that comes to mind is, as we grow older, the same constant units of time, become a smaller share of our life, meaning that if one year, when I was four, was 25% of my entire life experience, as my only comprehensible perception of time, the same one year is now only 3.33% of my entire life so I feel it 7.5 times smaller in value thus faster in speed! Well, surly it can’t be that mathematical but the idea is, as we grow older, our perception of time expands but those units of time (days, weeks, years) are constant so we naturally feel that they don’t linger any more as much as they did before.

That’s my analogy and I appreciate to hear yours, but whatever the reason is, IT SUCKS BIG TIME!
