Assuming that the average human life span is 75 years (which is far more than many actually get), that would equal approximately 2,366,769,450 seconds or 657,450 hours.
If seconds were quarters, or hours were dollars, we might try to spend them more judiciously. Since time (which is arguably our most precious asset here on earth) is quite intangible, we tend to take it for granted.
MSN Lifestyle
reports that many spend 26 years of their lives sleeping (after 7 years of lying awake), “and another 11 watching TV.” Men tend to spend 11 months of their lives oogling women, most commonly in supermarkets.
Hate doing the laundry?
Three years of life is often preoccupied with this pursuit. Compare this with only 115 days spent laughing.
But doesn’t sex make it all worthwhile (especially after all that oogling)?
If you consider 9 hours of male orgasms a fair trade for countless hours of strategizing, then maybe it does.
And what about females?
Their lifetime ration is allegedly a mere “90 minutes of [orgasmic] pleasure.” But hey!
There’s also that 27 days of romance to forever cherish.
Other startling statistics include the following: “2 years in meetings… 5 years surfing the Internet [as compared to a mere 4.4 years eating]… and 8.5 years shopping."
Kind of makes you wonder whether humans ought to be rethinking their priorities…
