TIme

By Adhvaith Adav Vasudev, 6th Grade

Time, such a philosophical concept. How do I know that? Just observe the amount of quotes olden philosophers think about time. Just think of,"Time moves slowly but passes quickly." or, "But meanwhile, time flies; it flies never to be regained." and also, "Don't watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going." Now, these philosophers say that they know a lot about time, but do they? And do you? Do you really have an adequate grasp of the mesmerizing concept that is time?

Now, just to check, you can count right? That is pretty important for time. Just count to one Mississippi really quickly. Did you do it? Great! In that period of time, a lot of things happened. 4 new humans were welcomed into this world, whereas 2 were welcomed out. 3,000,000 google searches are typed in, a new couple was married, and 34 trees were cut down.

If you counted 60 more of those little Mississippis, you would get a minute. In that time, 25 million Coca-Cola products will be consumed, 58 airplanes will take off around the world,144 people will move to a new home, and 11,319 packages will be delivered by UPS.

So many things can happen in such a short amount of time, it is crazy. It just shows you, the world is gigantic and never stops moving for anyone. 172800 people have died and probably had a worse day than you. Thank you, goodbye.
