Background Information The third is psychological.This is time as measured by the mind.It follows the law of human perception.To an impatient child,30 minutes may seem endless,and to a harassed parent even longer.But to a pair of lovers about to be parted,the same 30 minutes may seem like less than a heartbeat. The average popular song is three minutes long,but to a shy person singing karaoke for the first time this may seem like three hours.A marathon runner thinks in terms of hours, while a sprinter thinks in terms of fractions of second. 6
