"時間はゆっくりと進むが、あっという間に過ぎ去る。"
— Alice Walker
Simplified Meaning:
When we are living in the moment, sometimes it feels like everything is dragging on forever, like when you're waiting for the weekend or for the end of a hard workday. But when you look back, you realize how fast that time actually went by. For example, imagine you're in a long class; each minute can feel like an hour. However, by the time summer vacation arrives, the entire school year feels like it flew past in no time. In life, even though each day can seem long, weeks, months, and years seem to pass quickly when you look back. This idea reminds us to appreciate and make the most of our time. Instead of just waiting for the next big thing, try to find joy and meaning in everyday moments. It can help us live more fully and avoid regrets about wasting time on things that don't matter.
