without any man defining what the burden of time is to you, all u would reason to know is change

there are minerals elements and molecules in us that dont know "time", for example that nail stored away in a droor does not know time like like the nail laying outside all rusted.... eating meat will impose "time" on some molecules in our body.. is it worth it? who cares?

Time is a duration measurement. It is precious because you only have so much of it.

The main thing that really perplexes me about time is that it goes quicker as I get older. No one has been able to offer me a reasonable explanation of this phenomenon. I remember being in grade school waiting for the 3:00 bell to ring. 2:50-3:00 seemed like an hour. 3 months summer vacation seemed to last years.

not all things in you are inherently effected by time, however this changes when you feed it meat

I know exactly what you are talking about. The older I get the faster time goes by. I feel like it's racing.

This board has really gone downhill. It seems as though it's dying as of late.

Time is a manmade construct. Our universe is a perpetual motion machine, therefore time is irrelevant. Life on the other hand is finite.

And absolutely yes time goes by faster as you get older. It's because you know inside that your time is running out. It accelerates as you age.

If I have something to do at 6:00 pm, when I wake up at 7:00 am, I know I'd better start getting ready, because it will be here very very quickly.

ps I honestly can't imagine how people with kids and jobs etc. manage to do it all every day. Amazing.

that time is irrelevant is something you guys with premature ejaculation tell yourselves.

one reason it goes by as you get older - your live is very similar and your mind timestamps large amount of time as thoughts. you were at the same job for 6 years and lived in same home for 10 years - your mind/memory compresses many thought into a blur

so - move around, have lots of lovers, do new challenging shit - your mind will compress the same memories into a blur.

my 2 cents....

the older i get (34) the more i take awesome care of myself (sunscreen, flawless keto diet - with some cheating) but being healthy buys you more time (less sick, feel better) tons of water, etc

i do like a vodka martini and a cigarette but very rare now

also living below your means buys you time too. you have more freedom with less financial obligations and poor decisions - less stress.

also the calendar itself has changed over the years, i think were 10 days in a year back before the french made it 7 days a week

Why live a frugal life?

I agree die broke is the way to go, but I meant have a budget/live below your means gives you options to do stupid shit, work less hours so you can do more shit etc

I work in personal finance for a living so I see it daily...

time applies to the physical, within man is a soul, which exists outside of time.

time is moving much faster now, for your own sake, and will continue to increase its rate until the end.

When you are busier time moves faster. At work I am racing the clock, trying to multitask 20 things at once and it seems to run.

Time goes faster as you get older because when you were a kid waiting for the bell to ring you had only lived so long and a day was a big part of your life.Now you have lived much longer and a day then is like a month now.

Yes, but I could be sitting at home all day fuking around on the internet, reading, playing guitar or doing nothing at all and time still moves by very quickly.
