"El tiempo es una ilusión, la hora del almuerzo doblemente."
— Douglas Adams
Simplified Meaning:
The quote is suggesting that the way we perceive time isn't always accurate and that our sense of time can be especially distorted around mealtime. Normally, we think time follows a strict schedule – minutes turn into hours, and so on. But in reality, our feeling of time can change based on what we're doing. For example, when you're really hungry and waiting for lunch, time can feel like it's dragging on forever. On the other hand, when you’re busy or having fun, lunchtime might sneak up on you, and it feels like morning just flew by. The idea is that time isn’t always consistent and can feel different depending on our activities and needs. By understanding this, we can try to be more patient and not let our skewed sense of time affect our mood or decisions.
