Time Never Flies

‘Time Flies’ has become a colloquialism nowadays but the reality is very different from that. Time flies means that time goes by very fast & we don’t even get to notice it. It doesn’t, time doesn’t fly, it’s been running at one constant speed since it came into being & it will keep running at that same speed. Yes, there were some occasions where it was halted but its speed never changed, & will never change I guess. The truth to the ‘Time Flies’ phrase is that it isn’t true at all. It’s us, we are too engrossed in our lives & races that we forget to notice the world around us, & that includes time too.

Whenever we want time to pass quickly, it seems like its speed is diminished & whenever we don’t want it to pass, it feels like it just got some turbos. But that’s not the truth, time is at the same speed, it all happens within us.

When we don’t want it to pass because of a certain thing that we want to do or enjoy, we get too indulged in that thing that we forget when time passed, we don’t think of the outside world, it just becomes blurred for us, because that certain thing gets us too wallowed in it.

& whenever we want it to pass quickly, it seems like it lost its speed, but that too isn’t the truth. The truth is that we then wait for it to pass, it’s still at the same speed, but we start noticing it unlike before. When we notice it, the events before when it apparently passed like lighting comes into our mind & we think that we were noticing it all the time, but we weren’t.

It’s just that we forgot its importance…
