Relativeness of Time?

Question:

        If the general theory of relativity states that "the faster you go"
[and approach the speed
of light], the slower time will "be for you" "relative" to everything
else...?

        Then if everything on the quantum level travels at near the speed of
light, why would a
complete object vs. single quantum particles change "time" as it
increases speed ?... If the quantum
particles that make everything up are already traveling at nearly the
same speed, then why would time
change if any of them take a general direction?
