Time is quixotic because it can torment us. When we have insufficient stimulus to fill our lives, we resent the relentless quality of time, and we engage in activities designed to kill time. Time that passes slowly creates insufferable boredom; time that passes to quickly makes us aware of our accelerated death march. A persons perspective on time depends mostly on what they are most afraid of, boredom or death.
