How time passes

Have you ever noticed when you buy a food product, say milk, and notice the sell-by-date? It seems far away. Then suddenly the date comes and then it's gone. The wise person will have consumed all the milk.

Have you noticed how when scrolling down to find your date-of-birth on a computer screen, you find yourself scrolling down further and further. And it only seems like yesterday since you were top of the list.
