Time Flies or Does It?

Have you ever heard the cliche Time Flies? Do you think time flies? If time flies where does it go?

Time is defined in many ways depending on how you use it in a sentence. In this instance, time can be described as ones lifetime. Time is a
non spatial continuum, in which events occur in apparent irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future. As the clock ticks off minutes, hours and days, we may not have finished what we are doing or what we want to do, but the clock keeps ticking leaving us with less time.

Do you remember hearing about the depression of the 1930s? Many people talk about the hard times they had. This definition of time is an interval, especially a span of years, marked by similar events, conditions and phenomena; an era. During the depression there was little money and rations on food and gasoline. The U.S. Depression has been the subject of much writing, as the country has sought to reevaluate an era that dumped financial as well as emotional catastrophe on its people. A famous novel written on the subject is The Grapes of Wrath, published in 1939 and written by John Steinbeck. It was later made into a movie which focuses on a poor family of sharecroppers who are forced from their home as drought, economic hardship, and changes in the agricultural industry occurred. These are just some of the things that are talked about when hard times were discussed. The events in many lives can be related to hard times.

In a span of 70 years there are 25,550 days, 613,000 hours, 36,792,000 minutes and 2,207,520,000 seconds.

In a time for taking stock of ones life, time can be defined as a suitable or opportune moment or season. In taking stock of our life, can we determine if time flies?
