Hello,

Today I've remembered interesting event,
related with time and relativity theory.
19 years ago, when I've gave birth to my first daughter,
I've spend the whole summer in a very beautiful and clean Lithuanian resort - Druskininkai.
Almost every day I've went to the central city lake for a walk with my little daughter.
After some time, I've noticed that an old man also walking there very often.
I don't know why, but very often unknown people like to begin a conversation with me -
it don't depend on age they are. Maybe they feel that I'm a good listener and always keep conversation...
The same happened one day in Druskininkai - that old man, which was walking by the lake, started to talk with me.
It was difficult to estimate how old was he, but I thought that not less than 75-80.
He told me about his family, children and grandchildren, about his life etc.
We met some more time and I saw that he need to talk with somebody
and always kept conversations and payed attention to him.
During that time I found out that he was 94 years old!
And it was real difficult to believe it - he looked very good for his age.
One day when I've met him by the lake, he was very sad.
He told me that died well known sportsman. When I asked him, how old he was, he answered me:
" He was so young yet, 3 years younger than me, only 91 years old!" ....
And it was one of that moments when we could understand how relative everything in our life!
