In Class Writing #4: The Moment

 The Moment

 
One by one, the grains of sand are falling down. From the pile of sands, it is slowly falling by the curve side of the sandglass. The speed of the sand flow is always the same. However, there are times when it seems too fast or too slow. Especially, when you are waiting for a moment to happen, time seems slow; but when it actually happens, time goes so fast like the speed of a horse pooping (This is scientifically proven). Thus, this is because of the anxious mind and the disappointment from the real moment.

First of all, the nervous mind waiting for the incident to happen makes it feel long. Whatever the incident is, the person waiting for it is or expecting a result While waiting for it to happen, they prepare by thinking what they could do in the situation like the character in the video. He bakes the face, trims the clothes, and plays the violin for the girl to be alive. During the exciting time, people get more desperate for it to really happen. For example, waiting for the weekend feels so deadly. I construct plans, but it is only Thursday. For the remaining two days, I desperately wish that Saturday and Sunday would come. Hence, this anxious mind makes the waiting moment longer than usual.

Moreover, when the event happens, the disappointment makes it feel very short. With a fast- heart beating mind, the event happens. However, if it doesn't satisfy you or is something you did not expect, you get depressed. Since people no longer have a high interest in it, it fastly fades away. The sand in the sandglass drops so fast. For instance, my brother waited desperately for the result of his first Lotto coupon. When he was selected, he enjoyed his money the first few days but after then, he was bored. People enticed him to use his money. It was not what he had planned and the moment passed very fast.

All in all, the time waiting for an action to happen seems long because you are very nervous. On the other hand, when the action really appears it feels short because of the dissatisfaction. Every sand in the sandglass falls at the same speed but in some moments, it seems as if the sand magically moves faster or slower. In addition, these moments continue because you can flip the sandglass whenever you want. When it seems as if an incident is about to end, the sandglass flips, and a new happening emerges.
