Is life passing u by too fast?
 

Inspired by Jessy's "Big Decision" thread.

Ladies n gentlemen, I ask cuz I always hear ppl say n music sing about how it feels like they just started their lives n yet so much has passed them by.... as if life is too short. e.g.: TIME - pink floyd

Well how long should it be?

What's the golden number?

Do u feel like ur life is passing u by too fast, do u feel that it's going too slow, or just right?

... Share Wit' Us :D

life is FLYING BY.

honestly, if u had asked me like 4 yrs ago i would of said it couldnt be any slower, but now its going at the speed of light.

this past week i have thought about it alot. we run and run so much that we dont notice how fast its going. just last yr i was graduating highschool and now im done with my first yr of uni ahhhhhh omg it is flying by. and then next hting u know ur done with uni and on to a career.

when u think about its a bit scary we dont realize how fast its going and we NEVER get the chance to stop and take a breath and look around.

i think its going by too too fast. i wish i had a PAUSE button sometimes just to sit down take a breather enjoy a couple minutes and kknow that i dont have to worry about the studying or work or so so or billy joe bob. We have so much on our minds that we dont stop and take a look at our life just racing by us.

lately i just realized that the smart people in life are those that now how to cherish the moments in life. Its not all about running and making money and god knows what else its about enjoying it and doing what u want now what u have too. But yes of course its hard especially with the way society is shaped today. its all about waking up at 6 and showering and going to work/uni and then the kids and then home for dinner and then doing it all over again. its one hell of a fast fastt routine that we do everyday without thinking about it.


As for me,, i do wish i could jsut stop sometimes and spend time with those i love a little more and catch up with the friends i love but havent had time to talk to in 10000 yrs lol.

when ur little and they tell u enjoy it while it lasts we never want to listen, but really we should....

This is something personal that i'm about to say, bas what the heck i'll go ahead and open up..it's nice to sometimes stop and take a breather as Miss O said, that, i came to understand lately, and so i started to do so every now and then, i live in a tall building in Batroun, right next to the sou2, and every now and then botla3 3al sate7 when the weather is good, and bet2ammal in basically EVERYTHING (most of the times its a night cz of the moon and the stars and cz its more..calm), some may say pffffffff that's..u know..g a y (sorry if the word is hurtful, bas couldnt find a better way to say it) bas its actually helping me alot, sometimes u cry and/or sometimes u get happy when ur alone at night like that thinking, bas anyways, yes it IS going by fast, and well..i advise u to find a place that's really a place where u feel free and where u can think about stuff in life b4 they pass u by too quickly :)

exactly!!! even if its 5 minutes a day to ur self just admiring all that around you.

I work in a mall in a jewelery store more specifically and sometimes its sooo dead min ka7ish deben so i just sit and people watch out in the mall. and some may think ur crazy bas all u see is people running to get somewhere and that clock is ticking. they run and pull their children behind them and rush through not one person take time answer their kid or ask a question of whats wrong.

its weird but i wish i had that roof like u it must be so niceee (especially since its in my favorite place lbatroun hehe)

this is the 1st time i mention that, i have a secret place in batroun that i have been visiting for the last 7 months each month one time, bi awal madkhal el batroun u take the road straight up to a mountain, fi derr fo2, donno its name:$, but there is a view, a heck of a view, im gonna post a picture about it when i get to go up there next week or somethin. u can see the absolute blue sea and the green mountain at the same time + fresh air... sometimes i go there just to hear some music over my music player or to write something on a small notebook, or just, looking around and sitting all by myself... its a self release place:)

back to topic, life is really hard and fast at the same time, and to be able to keep it up and not blowing like the fury of the storm is to be able to take some rest law even 2 hours per month. i think that much time is fair enough for me. then i go back to work, uni, facing life's shitty obstacles n such....

on the contrary, each n every person has his own secrets that no matter what, he/she cant tell them to even the closest ones in life. or sometimes u face troubles or u do stuff no one should know about. so in addition not to blow up, u go up there and release urself

Well, life is neither going fast nor going slow.
Who's to say if it is fast or slow?
You can't say that unless you really know what fast and slow are.
Were you living a previous life before, and it used to be slower or faster than this life?
Do the words fast and slow mean the amount of time?
If God let you live for 10000 years, wouldn't you still admit that life is short and time is running fast?!

As an explanation for why do we feel that life is short:
"Memory is shorter than real life!" => Yes. We do remember memories and memories are greatly shorter than real life (the past time). These memories seems to represent that past.

So admit it. you are human and human is greedy. Therefore you are greedy! :p

I feel it is going too fast. I'm going to be 20 in sptember. and about a few month ago I stopped and thought of what I did in my life so far, and the anwer was nothing



I never got a job, I never did anything productive, I didn't even watch my weight or work on improving myself or get a driver's license. and so I decided I won't be wasting time with meaningless stuff anymore



so I have been working out for about a month now, I've been studying a bit more, I started drinking water again :D and I am going to get my driver's license and a car before I hit 20 :huh:



if you are like me and you feel that the way you spent your life so far is bad, it's time to change, because before I know it I will wake up 40 years old and still haven't done anything

hmmm :) well 1st of all, Edgard is right, enno fia w ma fia bas, u see, God gave us the body and the strength to live for a 100 years for a reason, not saying that i know why cz i don't, and to be honest here, no1 does, 1000 years btezha2 men 3ichtak i reckon, bas life IS short mbala, the past 2 years mara2o wa ka2anno i'm still in that same place, men school la Uni, its the same stuff i'm goin thru, chi byetrok sa7ebto w baddo 7ada la ye7ki, chi bya3mel machkal w baddo 7ada yse3do y7ello, chi..chi...etc etc..its all the same stuff happening, the point is, enno even u cannot define whats short or long, so u cant actually say that life is not short :) bas our memories trick us to thinking it IS short cz of the very few changes that happen that we actually remember and so we'll think its short..(dont know if it makes any sense, bas 3am JARREB fahhemkon chi..) enno..same problems, same issues keep happening over and over and the very few moments where we sit down and net2ammal bel beauty taba3 life are the moments that our memory hold on to, so when we try to remember what has happened in our life, we only see those few beautiful moments and the rest (machekel etc..) men 7etton bi one category that we summ up to be a short memory w hiyyeh eventually bet koun our entire life.
as for Batroun........................................... .....ya 3ayneh 3al Batroun :) it's not where i'm originally from, bas i LOVE it, its somewhere between 3ICH W WALA YHEMMAK and 3ich w 3tal ham..i love the green lands we have, the beautiful nature scenes that u can look at and get goose bumps (bi 2ach3er badanak if i'm correct) cz of its beauty, and i love the pubs and restaurants and beach resort we have that represent the "3ICH W KAYYEF BI HAL 7AYET CHOU FIA EL 7AYET GHER HEK" bit, i think ur talking about a place in 3ebrine if i'm not mistaken Justin ? teb2a chouf esem el der anyways :) maybe its in 3ebrine and its der Mar Charbel ? *note that fi 2 dyoura la Mar Charbel fo2* cz men fo2 bet chouf el batroun kella wel sea w the nature w etc..its breath taking really.
And as for Miss O..7akyik tale3 men total honesty and thank u for that :)

but as I always say, I would have rather had 3000 years to live, and I would commit suicide when I get bored enough, and it would have been better than leaving this world with so many things that I haven't tried, so many things that I didn't learn or enjoyed :(

knowing that we will eventualy die is cruel :'(
