Is life short reflection
So I recently watch this music video (which is a great vid and song by the way) from Promoe...

...and the first couple of lines he says...
"it was the last days of summer, sun shin'in through the window,
life movin real slow, you know how things go"
These lines got me thinking so I put my pen to work and started to write what will be a reflection or thoughts on these lines. Warning this might be all over the place as I will write what comes to my mind in whatever order.
The first thing to be asked is human life, consider that you die of natural causes, short (fast) or long (slow)? Actually, the first thing to ask is how to humans preceive life, short or long? To simplify things I will only talk about 1 day and not an entire life span, as I think one day can be repeated to achieve whatever life span you set. I will also use the two extremes, long and short, and leave out the medium for complication purposes.
So basically, let me give some examples of good/bad long and good/bad short days:
Have you ever been at work and were like daaaaaaamn! the time was going by sooooooo slow. Or when you are "bored" time seems like it is not moving at all, looking at the clock every 5 min and it seems like it has been 30 min instead of 5? These is an example of a long bad day. On the flip side, from the quote, those long end of summer days, where the whether is perfect and it is the most chillest day you ever had and it seems like life is moving slow because you are enjoying it so much. Or those days where you are on vacation at the beach and all you are doing is chilling and enjoying life and it seems like the day is sooooo long. These would be examples of a good long/day. Here is another example, it is the weekend and you are getting a lot of stuff done that you like doing and by the end of the night you are having fun and are like damn it is getting late. You look at your watch and you are like what? it is only 6pm? that is really early, it seems like you have spent a lot of time that day doing what you like and it is still only 6pm. You probably have another 5-6 hours to go before you have to go to sleep. Life was moving real slow wasn't it?
Examples of short bad/good days:
This one is a little trickier. So you get off work and then do what you have to do, go grocery shopping, your tire blows and have to replace it, you get home at the end of the day and you only got an hour before you gotta go to sleep. You are like "what the heck happened to my day" you have no "you" time or time to unwined. This would be considered a bad short day. The other side of the coin. You are at an amusement park and just having fun and the day just went by in like 5 hours, or you are work keeping busy and you have one of those days where you get there and like 2 hours later, or at least it seems, that you have to leave. This is a good short day.
I could go really deep into this but I will just let you think about it. What do you think causes these types of days. Moods? your moods plus the activity that you are doing? the location of where you are at plus moods and activity? the people surrounding you + all the rest of the things? I mean I could go on for a little bit more but i will stop there as i think you get the point.
So is the day long or short? depends right? is life long or short? depends, do you have a lot of long days or a lot of short days?
all this nonsense, all i know is i strive for those types of days that Promoe talks about in his song. ya basically that was the point!
