time
I remember one of the first things that struck me about the film Donnie Darko. It was during the assembly, as the ‘inspirational’ speech was being given, and things began to speed up around him. "I’m moving through time," he said. It was profound, and yet when you think about it, incredibly obvious. Of course he was moving through time. We all are. If we weren’t, we would be separate from the stream of reality that holds us in conjunction with those around us. This "time-space continuum" is, by definition, a streamlined progression.
I think about it every time someone says that the day is going by fast or dragging on, especially when I feel the opposite effect to what they are describing. It’s strange to think that while a day is racing along to you, for someone else, it seems to take eons to make it through the last hour. That’s only for those of us who believe in time, I suppose. But even then, I don’t know anyone who has never experienced a ‘long day’.
*Raises hand*
Not that I recall any way.
What do you mean by those who don’t beileve in time? Theres an option?
You miss just blew my mind. Thank you by the way.
