Time Goes By, So Slowly?

I think that Madonna has it all wrong in her new song actually. Time does not go by so slowly, infact more often then not it goes by way too fast. Yes I know that there are times that you want time to go by quickly, like when it is Friday afternoon and you're in a really boring class and you just want the weekend to be there. Or when you are having killer runny diarrhea, you want that to go by quickly too. However we all have times we wish that time would have gone by more slowly. Maybe some time our family, or more time with that special someone, or maybe even just more time for a lunch break. I think I may have stumbled upon the reason that time seems to go by so fast and here's why.

See it is all in how we view time, all in how we read it. We live in a world that is consumed by having everything quickly. That's mistake number one; a fast paced life. We don't take the time to enjoy the little things. Mistake number two; rounding up. Yes that's right, that little mathematical concept that you wish the government would exercise on your taxes is, infact, a time killer. When you look at the clock do you find yourself saying it is 4:30 when it is actually 4:21? Some of you may not even notice that you do it but in your head you see 7:45 as close to 8 o'clock. This is where you lose the time.

Take each minute as it comes and don't give it up before it happens.
