  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I feel much younger than 30s, how come life speeds up so much as time goes by? I am too young to be this old!
Blessings everyone :wave:

Be thankful you still feel young! I feel most of the time young physically; except times like today when I'm just worn out.

Time doesn't seem to go by as quickly for me as it seems to for others my age (except for on my days off work!). For example, for me it's only the middle of February when for most people I'll talk to, they'll say something like, "I can't believe it's the middle of February already!!" I'll usually comment something along the lines of agreeing to that when really, I'm hoping that the next month will just hurry up and get here instead of the days just seeming to plod on at a glacial pace.

I heard a rational explanation for the seeming of time to go by faster as we age: when we are young, we only have so many days to compare the day we are in presently whereas there are way more days to look back on when we get older. That probably isn't clear so I can also think of it like this: Say we are five years old. My one day is being compared to approx. 1825 days. Now we are 30. My one day now is compared to about 10,950. Look at this as a matter of fractions: 1/1825 is quite a bit larger than 1/10,950. It makes sense to me, at least.
