It is all about new/first time life experiences and your brain housing group. When one is young, and first cognizant of what is happening around him, and can remember and recall those life experiences, time seems to crawl, because the vast brain housing group hard drive is relatively empty. As the days, weeks and years progress, the brain's hard drive begins to fill up, and because many of one's life experiences are nearly identical repeats of what is already saved on the hard drive, life seems to speed up. As long as one remains mentally healthy, the hard drive captures every new/first time experience, but repeat experiences just roll off to the side and life seems to accelerate even faster. When you get to a point where a look back over the past 20 years seems as if it happened just yesterday, you are well on your way to the grave.

"All that the South has ever desired was that the Union, as established by our forefathers, should be preserved, and that the government, as originally organized, should be administered in purity and truth." – Robert E. Lee
