On Topic Discussion How does time go slow and fast at the same time.

Each day seems to go by really slowly, but each month just flies by.

Both go equally fast at my age.

I know what you mean, I look back at when I met my honey, and think it was not that long,

but then 28yrs later together still and I wonder where did the time go.....

yesterday seemed to fly by, but today seems to be going as slow as a slug in a pile of salt

The reason this hasn't had many replies might be that all us old timers just sigh and say, 'Ah yes, how true!' while the youngsters don't know what you mean.
There's a Chinese poem with a bit that says something like, 'How short our life is, yet these summer days seem endless.' I can't track it down but it might be in this lot: www.chinese-poems.com

If you were to ask an 80-year-old when he had passed the halfway mark of his life, he would say "When I was 40."

However, with the way humans perceive the passage of time, he would actually have passed the halfway mark when he was 22. That's why your childhood seemed to go on and on forever.

(No evidence on this, sorry. It's just something I learned many years ago.)

FAIL without proof.

The way it was explained to me is, when you're 5 years old and waiting for Christmas or a Birthday, a year is 1/5th your life - Where as when you're 40 years old, a year is only 1/40th of your life. The older you get, the smaller the percentage of your life that one year is.

I find this is true, as, the older I get, the faster the years (seem to) go by.
