A Word That Finally Describes How Time Flies as We Get Older

Credit :

This filmmaker and graphic designer named John Koenig has come up with an idea that describes and defines words we have never heard of. Some of them are mind-blowing. In this episode, he uses a word that is very unique and will leave you speechless.

The name of the weekly YouTube series is "The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows." In this special episode Koenig uses the word "zenosyne." It is a combination of the two Greek words "Zeno" and "Mnemosyne." Zeno is derived from "Zeno's Paradox," which explores how one can move from one location to another if he must use ever-shrinking steps. Mnemosyne means to personify ancient Greek methodology. He combines the two words into his newly invested word.

Koeinig asks the question "how can we live our lives while each passing year feels shorter than the year before?"

A great video that is guaranteed to blow your mind, and teach you something you never heard of. Check it out below:
