Does Time really fly?


According to my grandma Cherry, who lived to be ninety seven, the older you get the fast time goes by. When I would visit with her she would tell me some wonderful stories of her youth and childhood. That will be in another story. At that time she was in her nineties. She had nothing to do, but watch and listen to sporting events. You might seem this strange, but sports where her life. She would watch golf, though she could hardly see. I am not sure she understood golf, but it was a sport and that was good enough for her. Her favorite sport was hockey, especially the Detroit Red Wings. Maybe you have something to look forward to when you get old.

Back to does time really fly and why would that be. I have some ideas about why time goes by faster as we get older and I will share them with you. After you have read the ideas please leave me you comments. This will help all of us to understand what happens with time as we grow older.

Let’s start with when we were young. You went with you parents to you grandparents. The first trip seemed to take forever but as you went back time after time. The trip didn’t seem as long. One of the reasons is on the first trip everything you saw driving there was new to you. Your mind had to digest all the visual scenery. On the following trips your mind didn’t have to absorb so much, so the time seemed to go by faster.

You might ay familiarity of your surrounding takes less energy of your mind so you mind can relax. This could be one reason for time going by faster when we get older, but I am sure there are more. Let me know what you think.

Happiness with Wealth to you
