It’s weird how we perceive time.
How we feel in time. How time feels in different situations. Time is moving at a constant rate, yet we feel like it speeds up, and slows down. Today, I was in class, and I checked the time. Three minutes until school ended. It felt like I was waiting for at least 10 minutes. When the bell finally rings, I rush out of the classroom. Walk around, say by to some friends, and I check the time again. It had been three minutes since the bell had rang. Yet, at that time, it felt as if it had only been thirty seconds. It’s strange how when you are with someone that you want to be around, time flies. But in those situations, you wish that it felt like forever. But in situations that you don’t want to be in, you want to go by fast. Get it over with. But it takes so long. It’s funny how that works.
So, if you can change your mindset on a situation, can you change the speed at which time moves?
Obviously not literally change it, but how you perceive, and feel it. Could you “control” how fast time moves? Because if you change your mindset, to that of wanting to be wherever you are, it will go faster. The world how it is, would not want anyone to have this ability. Because if you apply logic to what I just said, you would know that it doesn’t work. This is how I said it. You don’t want to go somewhere, change your mindset, goes by faster. But, if you change your mindset, to that of wanting to be there, then you want to be in that situation, then it would go by fast, but now that you like it, you don’t want it to. It is quite unfortunate how this works, i’m sure we would all want to be able to control time itself.
What would life be like if we could do that?
Spending time with loved ones, and being able to extend it to make it feel like forever. Going to a boring meeting, make it feel like seconds. Make a single moment, last a lifetime. But we are not allowed to have control over such a great and almighty thing. Because if you could control time, it would take away a lot of life’s meaning. Not having to savor time, be thankful for what you had, and really appreciate it. So really appreciate the time you have with the people you love while it lasts.
