Have you ever felt that when you were a child, it seemed like a day would never end, and as you grew older, time passed like a white horse, fleeting? We often say, "Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle", so why is this?
Scientists have studied and found that this is not our delusion. The human brain's perception of time is closely related to the number of new things and experiences in our lives. When we are constantly exposed to new things, learn new knowledge, and experience different lives, our brains will store this information. In this way, we feel that time passes more slowly, because every day is full of new content.
However, as we age, we begin to enter a repetitive pattern. We do the same things every day, face the same problems, and even think about the same things. In such a life, the brain does not need to store new information, so time passes quickly and inadvertently.
This phenomenon is nothing new. We often hear old people say, "Alas, so many years have passed all at once. "This is because their lives have entered a highly repetitive phase, and each day is very similar. For young people, their lives are full of change and novelty, and every day is a new beginning, so time seems extraordinarily slow.
So, how can we change this?In fact, the answer is very simple, that is, to constantly try new things, learn new knowledge, and renew your experience. Only in this way can we make our lives more colorful and make time slower.
Life is like a journey, not about the destination, but about the scenery along the way. If we just repeat the same route day after day, then the trip becomes meaningless. On the contrary, if we are willing to try new routes, to see different landscapes, to experience different lives, then the trip will be extraordinary.
Of course, this is not an easy task. We need to overcome our own inertia and we need to face the fear of the unknown. However, only in this way can we make our lives more meaningful.
Let's go back to the original question: why do you feel like time flies faster the older you get?The answer is simple: because our lives have begun to be highly repetitive. But that's not a bad thing. It means that we already have enough life experience and knowledge, and we have enough wisdom to face the challenges ahead. There is still a long way to go, and there are countless possibilities waiting for us to explore and discover. So, let's cherish every day and create our own wonderful life!
