Practical Philosophy, Friday
"'Time goes fast', they say, when things are fine and calm and unremarkable," Ender said, "Until any of that changes, and then time goes too slowly, we find ourselves caught in the moment."
He took a sip of his water as he sat back on the lawn.
"It's the end of this first half of a term," he said. "And it's been calm and quiet. Perhaps that means the back half will be more eventful. Or maybe the island has decided to be peaceful for once. Still, it leaves me to wonder."
He set the bottle down.
"What are your hopes for the future?" he said. "That amorphous blob of time that will come at you too slowly and too fast by measures. Are you ambitious? Just trying to get through the next day, the next week, the next month? How do you picture the future?"
