Running Downhill
Is it my imagination, or is the speed of life, the speed of change, increasing? It's like running downhill. Your feet have to keep moving, ever faster or you'll fall on your face.

I used to think it was increased responsibilities, ie time's up before its all done.
Then I thought - decreasing energy ...ie insufficient oomph...perspective.. time is moving fast in relation to what I get done.
Then I thought - increasing volume of worry and mental perplexity..ie insufficient focus, makes time disappear while one is not paying attention to the moment.
Then I thought it was neural network slowdown ...again makes time appear to be moving faster.
Today, I think its because we don't sit in a classroom every day and watch the minute hand, and because we don't have parents who make us stay home and be bored.
