Finding More Time (0:00:00) Do you remember when you were a kid and days seemed to last just a little bit longer? What was really just a 15-minute recess felt like a whole hour of playground adventure. As we get older however, we seem to lose that perception of time. Days feel like seconds.

And with our world becoming more and more connected, it’s inevitable that we’ll run into people who misunderstand us and say things that we might find offensive. So, is there no hope? Are we destined to be in a state of annoyance, perpetually offended forever?
