Time passes quickly when you're having fun.  Why?  Time passes slowly when you're bored.  Why?

Your answer has to cover both of those or it's not an answer to the question.  As usual, all you've done is rattle on with a bunch of unsupported assertions.

Can you answer the question or not?


Yog.  Hi

Try to remember when you were a naughty little girl and your parents spanked you all the time?
You haven't changed that much yog.  Banging Head On Desk
You still very naughty.  Banghead

As you may know there is not a big difference between being spanked and suffer physically or not being spanked and instead suffer mentally for our mistakes.
You suffer either way.
There is no escape to it.
With the same token in those very rare moment that you do the right thing there is no suffering and the time is not a torture anymore.
Now according to yoga deep within someone tell you to go ahead and perfect yourself but because of free will you may well ignore this advise and do the wrong thing.
The problem yog is that that entity within that is impossible to get rid of will accelerate of slow down the perception of time in your mind accordingly in order to let you know if you are on the right or wrong track.
Why would she do this?
As I already said yesterday life is like a marathon.
We are stuck in this physical dimension until the finishing point is reached.
There is no way out.
Someone is making sure that the time goes on and on or is over according to our desire to march
towards the finishing line or don't march at all.
That is why smart people march towards the finishing line while other do not and keep on getting spanked again and again.
Your parents may have well gone, that doesn't mean that you do not have to keep on getting spanked
again and again.  Indubitably

This is hopeless. Claiming there is an entity which accelerates or retards our perception of time is just an ad hoc hypotheses. It doesn't explain anything, or more accurately it explains without actually explaining. I don't suppose you've got any evidence of this unseen entity that makes time go slow when you're sad or bored, but makes it go fast when you're happy? No, of course not.

I'm gonna say you still haven't explained it yet. You haven't explained why it slows it down when you're sad or speeds it up when you're happy.

Oh look. Contradictory evidence that you're wrong. It isn't an internal entity.
Quote:...Perhaps you’re having fun when time flies. In other words, we assume we’ve been enjoying ourselves when we notice that time has passed quickly.

There’s evidence for this in a recent experiment by Sackett et al. (2010). Participants doing a boring task were tricked into thinking it had lasted half as long as it really had. They thought it was more enjoyable than those who had been doing exactly the same task but who hadn’t been tricked about how much time had passed.

Ultimately it may come down to how much you believe that time flies when you’re having fun. Sackett and colleagues tested this idea as well and found it was true. In their experiments, people who believed more strongly in the idea that time flies when you’re having fun were more likely to believe they were having fun when time flew. So, the whole thing could partly be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
