My theory is it’s time as an overall percentage of your life affects your perception of the length of any duration.
When you are 4 years old, a year is an entire quarter of your life. That’s a long time. When you are 50, a year is only 2 percent of your entire life.
This is why when I was a kid being grounded for a week was like an eternity. And also I feel like I would get bored a lot and didn’t know what to do with my time. Now it’s like there’s not enough time in the day. And I’d rather just go take a nap than find something else to do.
Could you imagine getting grounded from work for a week? That would be fantastic.
I bet I could get grounded from work for the rest of my life.
