If a man were a butterfly, he would organize a day of life in this way:
Instead of eighty years, we would live only one day. 24 hours, 1440 minutes, that is, 86 400 seconds.
If we were born at midnight, we would go to elementary school around 1.30 a.m.
The classes would last not more than a second.
We would finish primary school, including 4 minutes of summer vacation and 2 minutes of winter vacation, at 5 a.m. in the morning.
The secondary school would start at 5 a.m. and last for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. We would finish it at 6.30 a.m.
The university life would presumably end at 8:15 a.m, with 8 hours and 15 minutes of life.
We would look for a job for 90 minutes, approximately, and, hopefully, we would get the aforementioned job by 9.40 a.m.
We would work for 10 hours and 30 minutes and we would retire at 20.10 pm.
As for the rest of the events of our lives, well, you can calculate them on your own, because, thankfully, we are not butterflies, so we have time for these things.
