Considering physicists currently believe the universe is 15 billion years old, even the human race has not existed for very long.
In years to come our lifetime will be summarised in a few pages in a history book, a tiny part of the story of mankind.
And yet for each one of us we have all the time there is.
But a lifetime does look like a different amount of time depending where you are in it. To a child even adulthood seems a huge distance away. But to those in the latter years of their life, it's easy to wonder where the time when.
Perspective is a wonderful and powerful thing.

Simply put as a question here, is perhaps the greatest reality of human life, that it outreaches bounds of time into dimensions unknown. We would not realise if there are limits of time if somehow we would not be able to sense what might lie beyond. Time is a creation of all creation put together. It is an application upon all that exist in material from, but mind is a thing that has aspect that transcend material. This is true but a simple fact that we are forever, time, if properly contemplated, is only to make us realise this.

In our experience, we have nothing to compare it to. I feel that we consider our time her to be short because it goes so fast and there is so much more that we want to do, but we run out of time.

People often say "life is too short" and I always reply "yeah but it's the longest thing we have!" It is true and compared to the life of a star or a solar system yeah it is short but comparing it to other things doesn't really change anything, does it?

Time can seem an eternity even in seconds or fly by faster than comprehesion. We measure it by day and night and further that by a complexity of cycles. People spend fortunes on Rolex watches so that they can see what time it is anywhere in the world. Yet, nature has no need but the seasons and cycles of regeneration. It has no such obsession.

Compared to the fact that it can end at any moment, without warning, be it by natural causes or otherwise. For the past few days, where I live, there have been storms that have left several hundred thousand people without power, many thousands of dollars of structural and natural damage. And, not only are people in panic mode, but they are in super-selfish mode by they way they are driving erratically, and hording at grocery stores. It breaks my heart to see this behaviour, and it makes me wonder, that if any one besides themselves needed assistance, would any of those people stop to help? Does it take disasters to bring people together, to behave more humanely, or do they magnify the worst in people?

Yeah our life is short, compared to how old the world itself is.

It is only a point and time we exist.
There is nothing to compare it to.

This life is short but we have many lives both ahead of us and behind us so this chain of existence is very long
