@mir123 Time is not an absolute. I don't mean the Einstein time which slows at the speed of light.
I mean the time system we created for commercial and social convenience: "I'll meet you at 2pm" instead of "I'll be there when the sun is in the notch on the mountain."
Since "time" is in our heads-subjective- we shift it around depending on the circumstances. Two weeks vacation is too short. An hour getting your teeth cleaned is too long.
So, we don't have to torture ourselves with the idea of "time passing us by" like some kind of express train leaving us at station. Just realize it's our own mind, which hopefully we can control, that's making things "faster and slower. " You can play that game if you want to at your own risk.
Whoops! Time's up!

In Sunday in the Park with George, the characters in the painting don't like it. IT'S HOT UP HERE.
And they are stuck there FOREVER.
