What has right got to do with perspective or experience!. When in life is anything ever 100% right!? We as humans can only observe and contemplate, and from our findings gather facts that IF and when tested result in repeated findings we give ourselves a gratuitous pat on the back and proclaim that we are knowledgable creatures!. One must remember that we our bound by our limited perceptual systems and so what we THINK is right, may not even be the case, whether or not we prove it over and over!. Confounding variables that we cannot perceive nor imagine may be lurking behind the scenes!.
So to conclude, I do not think that this question can be answered completely!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm becoming more and more convinced that this life is a journey!. Most of us do not know from our mistakes or the mistakes of others!. Some of us learn the hard way; others learn the easy way!. It also seems that our knowledge is most approximate!. We know what we know to a degree (in large part)!. Therefore, what is considered "right" becomes a matter of possibilities and probabilities!. You have touched on the problem that plagues epistemology!. How can we know that we know what we purportedly know!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Interesting question!. Whether we think we are right or wrong, it is only our perception!. There is no absolute right or absolute wrong!. We are only making comparisons!. Life seems long for a little fellow because he is comparing himself with the older people!. He thinks that he has so many more years to go!. He does not know that life can end any time!. But when he has gotten old, he realises that he has little time left to go!. Now he is fully aware that life is so unpredictable!. It can go any time!. He looks back and sees how time has flown, how he has wasted his life way, how from a little boy he has grown into an old man!. He realises that he now has to go!. There are so many things he yet has to do and there is so little time left!. So, it appears to him that life is so short!. Well, we are never really right!. It is only 'our' right!. Looking at it universally, life is really very short!. What is even a hundred years in comparison to the Earth which is millions of years old !?Www@QuestionHome@Com

We are right in the two options!. You remember Einstein's theory of relativity!? he said:
"Hold hands with a pretty girl and 5 minutes seem like 5 seconds, but put your hand in an oven 5 minutes and it will seem like 5 hours" (well i kind of don't remember the exact words but it was something like that ^_^)
It's true, for us as children, we always long to be grownups so we can do stuff and all, that's why it seems so long, because we do nothing!.
And when we get older, we soon find things to do, now we get jobs, children, etc, and as we are so busy, time seems to go faster!.
Hope this helps! :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Always!. A ten year old looks at the 30 year old and sees three lifetimes!. A 30 year old see the 10 year old and sees only on third of a lifetime!. A 90 yr old makes the 10 yr old think life must be very long indeed!. But according to the life of the 90 yr old, the 10 yr old hasn't even experienced life yet!.

A year is always a long time, but life is only short because we die!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't know, but I'm 15 and 30 is old!! Haha, well maybe not that old, my mom says she wishes she could be 29 forever, where I think I would be happy with 17 forever!.
But then when I look back at being 7, I can't even remember it!. I guess were right when we are young, because really when your old and looking back, you know it took X amount of years, and now that you're old, it just feels like it went by fast!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You shall never be right and never be wrong cause its all based on something that changes over time, we're talking about the way you see things during different periods of your own existence, its pretty much the same as asking somebody what color does the sun have, some will say white others shall say yellow!. Unless you have some sort of scientific criteria about it you cant be right nor wrongWww@QuestionHome@Com

We are right both times!. Life seems really long before we live it, but after we do live it life seems to have been short!. It is just the perspective in which we look at it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

We are right the second time!. When we are younger we just compare the time to our life!. When we're older we compare it relatively!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As we get older, the outside falls apart and the inside comes together!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

we are right when we have a day of fulfillment!. we can only be right for the day we live!. The past are moments(good or bad) triggered by the days experiences!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

everything changes with age!.!.we human beings are never or always right!.!.!.its hard to decide when we are!.!.!.It's up to you to know when its right or not!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
