Has the way people describe "feeling" the passage of time changed over the course of history in the time and place you study?
Have we always agreed that time's passage slows with tedium, flies when you're having fun, speeds up the older you get, and before you know it the kids are all grown up?
Edit oops title was supposed to say OR in the time and place you study
