Time- Running Too Fast, or Too Slow?


Time has been a tricky term. The more we think of it, the more dimensions it seems to have to itself (considering it is regarded as the fourth dimension). Time has been a concept of not just day and night, or mere hours and seconds to monitor our day, time is that entity which symbolises the start and end of probably everything.
The start of good times and the bad ones, birth and death of the living, perishing of the non-living and so much more.

While we all know how time play's with us, what we do not know is if it is actually so, or just what our mind leads us into believing. Have you ever heard, or said, about how fast time went by, or just how slowly it is crawling for you? This is a fairly used notion which allows us to understand the actually pace of our mind, life, emotions and happenings around us.

Time run's fast when we enjoy. How going out for shopping with friends seems so short lived, even if it is for an entire day. Its like time is practically falling off our hands, just like sand; no matter how hard we try it simply won't stay. Now why is that? Well, all analogies fail. After all, there is no cap to happiness. But all good things must come to an end. Now talking about time going too slow? Now imagine going out shopping with someone you barely know, or for that matter going out for shopping but not for yourself? Time will NOT pass, and not just that, but suddenly you will feel tired, you will be cranky and you will clearly be the carrier of misery. Contrasting isn't it? The same actions seems to bring two contrasting emotions to you just as situations change.

Yes, the focus here is on situations. From the above analogy, I feel completely content in establishing a relationship between the situation and the time.

Time is directly related to the situation you are in!

Funny but true. The situation we are in will surely decide if the time is moving fast enough for us, or not. As far as I believe, this is something to which not much thought is to be given to because no amount of thought or energy can make any difference anyway! Your time is not in your control, and so are the situations. However, what is in your control is your attitude in the best as well as worst of your time.
That clock on the wall is not going to determine if you are happy or sad, or for that matter anything but the time you wakeup and the time you will sleep at. Time is a tricky notion, something way beyond our understanding but even after this spectacular display of tricks that it has for us, it demands all are attention, hard work and respect. Time, after all is the reality we live in,

As they say, "Time and tide wait for none". I'll add to it and say, "Instead of running faster than either of them, try keeping pace; for that is when life is worth living".
