Relativity of time

[Someone here]

Today I have a cute question.  

Why does the good time passes quickly while tough time passes slowly?

When your mind is occupied its like time doesn't exist right? Well....you see where I'm going with this ?

What if you saw this moment without the lens of "good" or "tough". ? then how would you perceive it?

It all comes down to your conditioning. If there's no resistances then it's flowing and then time flies.

Compression. When you have a bad time, you notice more things. The passing of time is relative to the number of things or events you notice.

slowness of time is same as pain namely a messenger designed to show you that p-assing a-way i-s n-ear #pain ... death is close but it's ok as you are not a body

The first deliberate/focused contemplation session I ever had on a "psychedelic" (weed) was "what creates the perception of time?", and I arrived at the answer: "it's determined by how often you access your memories." This was the time right before I started meditating (I was probably 18), and I've only confirmed this insight later, but I would rephrase it like this: thoughts about self creates feelings of time.

When you're having a good time, you're not thinking about what time it is and how it relates to how long you have to be in that situation. So in a sense, the perception of time decreases, since you aren't thinking about it as much.

When you're having a tough time, you are constantly thinking about time, and therefore constantly perceiving time. If you ever worked some hourly job, you will notice that time seems to slow down when you are staring the clock down, whereas it goes by extremely fast when you don't pay attention or are busy with something.

Interesting how being busy achieves such a state. The self is lost for a "moment", and everything happens in a flow state.
