It's a bit silly to wish it to be longer or shorter, isn't it? Unlike money, space, food and water, you can't get more, no matter what you do.

I suppose it's more sane to believe one is busy, than to believe one lives after dying, etc etc. ...ooh, but then doesn't it present the question "Is belief a mental illness?". Mind you, when I put on the news & see that lot, I shake my head & rather put it off again. These humans will even kill each other over that which they do not even have any hope of knowing! How rediculous!

But if they're almost always not showing up on time, i.e., having pretty loose schedule, how can they be so stressed and busy? Isn't it just their imagination? Getting organized and being functional increases your productivity and also it makes you less distressed, as things go more smoothly. So, arguably, the belief of "being so busy" and "stressed out" because of that is created from being irresponsible, not from having to accomplish so many things at the same time.

people who say they are busy , i dont fell that they dont organise their time well
