The universe is a very strange place. Scales very hard to understand both big and small. Even the time of things around us move at different rates. For example our star moves through this galaxy at incredible speeds and this planet has made billions revolutions around it. How quickly are these revolutions occurring? We think of it as a year but maybe the reality is it is occurring in microseconds and our year is stretched within that microsecond. The glaciers are rapids but they stand still. The Rock flows but we mostly cannot notice it. Trees are shooting out of the ground but we barely see them grow. The Moon hovers like it's not moving at all. Even the lifespan of your favorite pet. Time moves differently for all the things around us. And we have no concept of what the true speed of anything actually is. The only speed you should move at is your own. When you synchronize with others and move at the Decay rate of something else you commit yourself.
