Thank you Nanie 🌿 for that in depth explanation.

More than the figures, your aryickd raises another question for me.

Imagine that you could travel the world at the speed of light. It would take 0.13 seconds.

Do you know how long is a blink of an eye?

0.25 Seconds on average (between (0.1 & 0.4.)

So as I am sitting here, writing this comment at the speed of a turtle, I have already done dozens of trips around the world.

Yet I feel nothing.

Yes that example is extreme. It highlights the contradiction of a world always trying to go faster and faster, just because Technology.

We tend to always hate the journey and long for the destination.

Yes the world is a village now. And living your whole life in a village can be boring.

It's not because we can do things faster that we should. We are accelerating towards a wall : like particules accelerated at the speed of light.

There is no living in the moment.

There is just a fast track from the cradle to the crematorium. 😂

What happens in between?

Ah, you mean the journey, I don't know. I was running so fast that everything was blurry.

Oh shit, it was a musical 🎶 and I was supposed to dance?

Can I go back, please?

No sir, it was a one time ticket. 🤣
