Time ??????

Does time pass quicker when you are busy and much slower when you have nothing to do? If so do lazy peoples lives last longer?

1. your logic says yes
2. Very true, but who would want a long boring life? Personally I would rather have a shorter exciting life.
3. Well as the old saying goes "time flys while your having fun." as for lazy people I don't think they would have longer lives since there lazy thier health mybe in jeopardy. :}
4. yes it would seem to be longer in a lazy persons life..but it would suck..cuz remember time flyus when ur having FUN =p
5. It all seems true but I think couch potatos live shorter lives !!
6. yes, it is true!!! especially at work, right? when there´s not much to do, it´s like the tic ... tac... tic... tac... goes on foreeeee ee e ver at such a s l o w p a c e... It really is a matter of perception, but I also heard the other day that to make the perception of time be slower and more full, one should try to avoid the same old routine of everyday as much as possible by, for example, exploring a new neighbourhood on your way back from work, or more generally, by having new experiencies... Lazy people may last longer, but do they really live at all!?
7. Time has its own properties independently of a particular psychological perception. Active, engaged, busy people tend to live longer than couch potatoes.
8. Time is a funny funny thing. I remember when an hour used to drag on and on and on when I was a kid, now weeks and months fly by like nothing
9. Ur logic says yes, but science says no. The more active a person is(moderation), the longer they'll live, but time does fly by when ur busy, so by this logic, u'll live longer, but would never know it cuz ur so busy that there just aren't enough hours in the day to stop and notice.
10. offcourse lazy people live long.
