Change is the essence of our lives, @slowwalker. We want to stop things because we can't know things in motion--only things at rest.
People use metaphors to describe this saying, 'Time flies', but this is nonsense. The fact is we are fallible and can't bear very much reality.
I leave you with these lines from Louis Mac Neice:
All is a dilettante’s lie.
Timés face is not stone nor still his wings,
Our mind, being dead, wishes to have time die
For we being ghosts cannot catch hold of things.
Thank you so much for your comment.
As you wrote, Change is the essence of our lives.
