TIME FLYS

Well, the 4th of July has passed.  Time to put the sparklers away and get ready for Labor Day, back to school, carving pumpkins and then we're Christmas shopping again.  Did we even have a spring this year?  If we did, I missed it.
 
I always heard that time went faster as you age and they were so right.
 
Scientists say it all has to do with the fact that the younger you are the more new things there are to investigate and remember.  The older you get, the fewer "new things" you experience and it's the "new things" that create your perception of time.
 
The only "reality" is now.  Now is where you've always been.  All the rest is illusion....or so the philosophers say.

The sad thing is that most of us are so preoccupied with what went wrong in the past or what might happen in the future that we totally miss the only thing that really exists which is NOW.

And if you consider that time and space are in constant motion, that the beginning of this sentence is already in the past, there really isn't even a present.
