Time is Sped Up From My POV

[Deleted member 148356]

All days are the same except Monday.
Yes on that day, it will be like a blink of an eye.
And I'm sad, maybe my age/mind is broken a long time ago.
Or I accepted for who I am, it may add to other days...

But in case some of you ever experience this,
Be aware and contribute good for the society.
So you can breeze through easily even in the days of hardship.

Focus and sharpen your mind so you can slice through the barrier of fragileness until the last of breath.
Smile in the face of death!

Then, either slow down or come back down to Earth.

(Yes, this is a relativity joke)

You just get older. There's a study that says our brains process less images and information as we get older, leading to our perception of time going faster.

Not sure if this plays that crucial of a role, though. But from my experience and observation, a few primary factors that make adults experience time differently are focus and routine.

When you're fully focused on a task at hand, you don't care about the passage of time. Before you realize it, it's been several minutes or hours. Imagine when you binge-watch or binge-read something. Time seems to go by so quickly, right?

Another main factor is routine. You form a habit and live in a routine. You do pretty much the same things every day, over and over again. Days seem to blur together. Heck yeah, it's the beginning of a new year! Wait, what? It's August already!?

OP thinks time exists.
Pfffft!

Thank you.

What'd you mean? I can discern Eminem's rap god video for sure.

Oh, if you were asking about us feeling the time flew faster, then no. Not for me at least. Sometimes, I feel odd that people around me kept saying "Slow down on your speech!". Even after slowing it down a little, both of my grandma were still unable to catch up with the words I spoke.

Read what Mr.BlackKnight said.
You are young and healthy, and your mind is yet to be developed.
Once you reach a certain age/experience high/low, perception of time might change.

There is one occurence of winning a ratio of 1:3 man in a war.
Focus vs weak/unpure/bloodlust, sharper then their blades of mind.
They are older then me, faster with a swing and ending it those beating hearts.

Exhausting, I don't want to explain more.

I was once gazing at a stone, lost in a wistful thought of, what if stone had a conscience?

Would it know it had lived for a long time? Millions of...years? Does it perceive year as we do? Maybe the seasons help, so it can know how many winters it has passed.

Does it feel old? It largely remains same, just eroded through rain and wind gradually. Would it suddenly realise how much smaller it has become over the winters? Would it dread its own inevitable end? Will it drive itself insane knowing it cannot do anything?


Wait...


What if it already went insane and killed its own sentience to end the suffering?


And so i patted the rock, a bit pitiful and sympathetical. "Death gives life a meaning, without it what's there to live for? Every passing moment will be just mote infront of your endless existence, will anything be of consequence to you? Will you be needful of interaction? For how long? How much of the finite forms of reality can you take? One iteration? Two? A thousand? How about infinite? Do you really want to be subjected to repeating the same thing over and over and over and ove..sigh, sleep my little rock...You have lived, by dying"

The older one gets the faster time flies. I'm already accustomed to that.

And yeah, I kinda get why my elders kept missing out words that I spoke.

Now, think.

How would we know it's alive?

How?

And by what media should we perceive it as a living being?

And don't get me started with sacred statues standing in a pose around the globe.

Those who have legends and stories that foretell their statues as glorious animate objects, do they feel time? Has it been confirmed that they're actually moving and all the stories aren't just bluffs after bluffs?



The little rock may rest, but you should not forget what the bigger and handcrafted rock has done.

There is a fun little segment of "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once" that kind of deals with this.

And then again, there was that one North American Aboriginal tribe (my teacher just remember the quote, not the source) who, when a shaman was asked: "But then is a rock a person?" said: "Not all rocks are people, but some rocks are" - any rock or any item that interacts with another, either serving as a waypost, being something they trip over, something they throw at someone else, something they toss into a river to make ripples, is a "person" as soon as that interaction begins, and may continue to be a "person" or cease to, depending on the nature of said interaction.
