Why does time fly faster?

[dodgerdave]

I've always wondered why time appears to fly faster as we get older. This is probably something that has crossed the minds of yourselves at some point as well.

Mybe it's becouse age catches up with you and things get harder to do and takes more time to do them and the end reselts is that you can't do as much. So it makes you feel there isn't enough time to do what you do.

When you're 5 years old, one year is 20% of your life. 20%. That's quite a chunk.

When you're 50 years old, one year is .20% of your life. That's just a tiny little fraction. A little nothing. The blink of an eye.

My math may not be right, but the premise still holds. So it not only seems like life is going by so quickly; it actually is.

Robin,

I heard other people tell me that the reason why it goes faster is because we worry about more things when we get older. I can see where you are coming from in terms of the percentages, but I don't know who's right.

Well You know, Sometimes the truth isn't easy to face or what one would think the truth would be.

Yes, It does sound depressing but old age usely does.
