Time is an elusive concept. I have found that being busy is healthy for you if you do not too much!!! What's the alternative, stay home, relax and be bored???? It's like the joke of the older person that says, they can't go back to school and take the five years to get a dipolma, as they will be 55!!! The other person says, in five years, your going to be 55 anyway!!! Life is for the living. Not doing what you enjoy after working all those years, is insane. IMHO My mother lived to 93 and her later were punctuated with comments like, "time really goes fast" and she nothing, all day. IMHO When you see the end coming, your time gets more precious to you and the time appears to go even faster. I'm sure you'll pick my wording apart, as you ususally post contentious articles, and wait for people to bite, into this nonsensical concept when they don't agree with you.

One of the best things about all of the lifestyle choices in The Villages, which keep us so busy, is that you get to choose which, if any, you want to do. It's all about individual choice as to how you wile away your time. I choose to do something, until I get bored with it, and then I choose something else. Also remember, doing nothing is also a choice that I make occasionally.

Life is good for me here. There is a lot of fun and then the big paper comes again. I think life passing fast, having a good time, is far better than having lonely creeping years full of dullness and of just waiting. Thinking. Worrying whether life is passing too quickly and knowing it will end.
It is too late now to solve all the worlds problems, we may as well add to them. AND DEAR LOVING GOD, please keep people without a sense of humor far away from me.

When I was a small child, I actually thought OP was correct. I didn't like school, so I tried to do as little as possible on Sundays so the day would drag on. One soon learns how much better it is to participate in life. Monday always comes anyway, so you may as well enjoy Sunday to its fullest.

You could just sit in a chair and time would be perceived to move more slowly, but that, to me, is not living. If time flies by while I am enjoying life, so be it. At least I'll go out smiling.

Time is only a concept of the human mind. If bad things are happening , time is slow. If good things are happening, time is fast. I prefer fast. You might like to read Deepak Chopra's Timeless Mind, Ageless Body.

It's like being a child in school, or working at a job you don't like. The weekdays drag on, but the weekends fly by. Would you give up the weekends to make life (seem to) go slower? |

It's a fact that your perception of "time passing" can be speeded up or slowed down. That's why Einstein said: If you're sitting on a bench waiting for a bus, time goes very slow. But if you're sitting on a bench with a pretty girl, time goes fast. I guess that was his way of saying: Time is relative. As for me, what do I believe? I don't worry about it, I just live my life. Sometimes I'm busy having fun, like I am now, and sometimes I like some quiet time to recharge my batteries. |

Well, time does seem to drag and go slow when I am with most of my relatives.

Is living an active lifestyle as great as it's advertised to be? Is it worth the trade-off?
YES to both, but I still wish you would buy a Television, kiddo.
