Time limit


Have you ever thought about how would it be if we could have 48 hours for only one day? I have, many times. The main restriction in life in my opinion is the time limit. Not only we have for everyday just 24 hours to complit all of our plans for a day, but also we have no idea of the time that is left for us on Earth. "It is so hard to leave- until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world"; as John Green says in "Paper towers". What about our time perception? When we have too much free time, often we do nothing special. The individual perception of time space is where the validation comes from. When you actually see genuine people enjoying the way they spend their leisure time, you know they are not wasting it. I would rather have a lifetime of doing what makes sense to me than chase the others, to be all the time in a frenetic pace of life that the world has nowadays. To be well-adjusted we should know what is our time perception. 
The scientists used to believe that the sense of time was created by a kind of internal clock, but currently as it is investigated, it turns out that it looks a bit different that was supposed to. The neurons follow the same pattern which does not depend on the speed of acting, but over a longer interval of time the patter is stretched and over a shorter one it is compressed. Our brain is more like a rubber band than a clock, in this case. So the sense of time depends on us! Don't rush if you don't want to. Below, I propose you to read this article about the "Slow city" project.
