Don't trust the system.

Focus

It confuses me when people talk about how "quickly time flies" or how "it all just happens too fast".
Why?

Because, in the greater scheme of things, time is relative and, no matter how much slower it were to trod along, people would still feel cheated out of it. Try to sit a person down and tell them to watch a minute go by...it'll seem to take ages yet, when their mind is elsewhere, it'll steal their lives away more slyly than a Joburg pick-pocket.

And, after looking at this photo for an extended period of time, it hit me harder than the Gautrain: it's all about focus. See, I believe the vast majority of the population will set their sights on the immediate in life - on what lies right in front of them. And this is exactly why time seems to whip by them so merrily. What we really need to do is focus on the distance - on the horizon of greater understanding where we might meet some light and insight on the ways of our peculiar universe.

Maybe then we'll see that we're going about things at just the right speed...
