Does anyone else feel like this decade is going by way too fast?

They say time goes faster as you get older because each day/month/year is a smaller percentage of your total lifespan. One year to a 10-year-old is 10% of his life...1 year to a 50-year-old is 2%.

 

Yup. It's depressing as hell, but true.

 

You spend nearly half your life being old if you got decent life expectancy.

 

Time is relative

 

Decades go by in the blink of an eye
Faster and faster as the decades run dry
The world falling apart despite giving your best
As you wonder if life was simply a test
Where the rules were rigged,
The players cheated
The win was right there
And you were defeated
Yet you recall to yourself as you begin to fail
That while you've lived on this earth
You weren't living in Hell

- Rick Deckard

 

Yes and like everyone else I put it on getting older. This morning it's hard to believe that it's been 16 years since 9/11.
We can't stop time but what we do with it can matter. I find that if I'm doing something new or seeing something new it feels like time goes slower. So instead of worrying about how quickly time passes make the the most of the time you have.

 

Getting out of school and working makes time go faster too.

 

Never knew blade runner referenced yeats.

 

cannot wait for Blade Runnder 2049

 

He didn't. I wrote that. Any resemblance to Yeats was purely unintentional. Thanks, though. I'm flattered.

I'm also excited about the sequel. I was dead set against it until I saw the trailer and got a sense of where they were going with the film. Can't wait!

Well said, Judo, and I think it's true. Staying curious about the world is a big part of who we are. As some age, they turn inward and come to view the world as incomprehensible, and change a threat. Living in a bubble isn't living, in my opinion, and I'm not referencing a Seinfeld episode. The world and its wonders help keep some of us going. Those responsible for 9/11 wanted all of us, and our country, to withdraw into a shell. Living life as full as we are able is a middle finger to the madness that took the Twin Towers, in my opinion.

 

Good to have you on board with the new film Dekard. I've been avoiding any trailers to try and keep something a surprise.

 

I really needed to see something to change my negative opinion about even the idea of a sequel, but totally get avoiding seeing too much. Far too often, trailers show you the highlights of a film, leaving little of the plot to discover when you're in the theater.

 

How many reboots of classics are we going to see in a lifetime?

 

It's probably cause we're 4 years from 30. the **** is this?

Paying monthly bills makes time go faster.

Tell that to the guy who regrets buying his car ... the decade can't go fast enough.
