Live will be relatively shorter than the one before it. Every second that goes by increases the amount of time you have lived and thus the next second will be relatively shorter than the one before. Think of it this way:

A man is 20 years old (exactly): The amount of seconds he has lived can be figured out by these calculations:

20*365 + 5(leap years) = 7305 (days)
7305*24 = 175320 (hours)
175320*60 = 10519200 (minutes)
10519200*60 = 631152000 (seconds)

So the last second had a relative percentage of:

(1/631152000)*100 = 1.584404391*10^-7 %

While the next second after it has

(1/631152001)*100 = 1.584404388*10^-7 %

Which although not significant it is still relatively shorter than the second before it.

To the extremes say a newborn baby, the Second, Second will be half as long as the first.

Could this contribute to patience?
