The other funny thing about time is this... how different people have a different sense of time. For example... a friend of mine will think that something will take her half an hour and it ends up taking two hours. I, on the other hand, think that something will take two hours and it ends up taking half an hour. And in the middle, another friend, who thinks something will take half an hour and it takes half an hour! There is a spectrum and I'm not quite sure what it means.
I do know that I can often sit and look at my list of things to do, look at the time I have available before some other committment (say 45 minutes) and decide that I don't have enough "time" to get any of it done. That, of course, is a load of crap! When I actually buckle down, it's amazing what I can accomplish in 45 minutes... but my time sense tells me that 45 minutes is not long enough for whatever it is I want to do.
So, what is up with that? Is it our perception of time? Is it the fact that time passes differently for each of us?? Does time speed up for my first friend, so that she takes two hours? Does time slow down for me, so that I take half an hour?? Is time a construct of our own individual perceptions? Perhaps it is our own experience that determines the speed of time for each of us?? Is that why some people seem to age quicker than others?
