Time flies

We have notions of time that may vary according to age. But some things are capable of surprise to most of us.

We still think of The Beatles as fairly modern.

It might surprise some people that their time is closer to World War 2 than today.

But what really surprised me is when I realised that their time is closer to World War 1 than today...

    I think i figured out that removing responsibilities is the key to making time slow down. We all talk about time flying as you get older but i don't think i ever hear anyone directly correlate it to responsibility.

    I've decided i'm getting no more pets, growing no more vegetables, having no more kids, and i might even ditch the car one day.

    It's hard to believe the Pistols/Punk Rock was nearly 50 years ago.

    Time probably starts to fly when you realise that you have a lot more of your life behind you, than you have in front, and your heroes are dying in increasing numbers.
