Today I'm listening to: "Drift" Forty Foot Echo
How much can happen in a few hours? Let's see: people cheat, get engaged, break up, say "yes" at the altar, get divorced, kill a man, eat their breakfast and it's all a matter of a very short period of time. It takes just a few seconds to pull a trigger. How surprising is that. We often think of the events and motives and outcomes. But we rarely think of how much time it takes. Some of the most important things take just a few seconds. It's obviously different when it comes to surrounding events. But really, the most powerful stuff happens in a blink of an eye. Maybe that's why sometimes we wish we could erase some past events? Because in reality, they were so short we weren't really sane when they happened. We might have still been in our heads when reality kept going on. This perspective surprised me.
