Why hurry? Where are we in a rush to?

Hurry up! Honk the horn.. Yell at the top of your lungs and point a middle finger! Where is the rush to nowadays. I remember reading somewhere about a man driving behind someone in Orlando complaining about how the guy in front of him was driving too slow. The man "Speedy Gonzalez" explained the reason for his rush was that his life was too busy to slow down. "Speedy" kept complaining saying the man in front of him was too slow and people like him are losers. I guess if you think about it maybe the man in front of him was definitely the wiser person. If you think about it the man in front of him knew the end result would be arriving home sooner or later. There is no rush.. Why rush? If you think about it.. If we spend every moment of our life rushing I think before we realize it - the grave will be awaiting us. Since life is finite why rush it.. Slow down a bit and enjoy it while you can. Either way, seems the people doing all the rushing nowadays are the ones who create more problems.

Well.. Do not get me wrong.. Sometimes people can be too slow at getting things done. I would have to admit I am guilty of this.. Sometimes through all the problems that exist in my life things become so burdensome there are things that end up on my back burner. Then there is the problem of feeling horrible about putting something off so much..

Well.. To make things simple.. All I am trying to say is try and take it slow on things that do not necessary require expediting. However, don't carry this over on everything.. Some things require a bit of speed..

Creativity killed - Walking the dog

Everyday the worker turned outside his cubicle to peer out of the window for a look of the outside world. However.. something deep down told him this was unproductive and not beneficial for company time. He felt sadness because the view outside brought life into him but looking inward toward his cubicle brought depression. Looking outside the sun shined bright, birds flew around seeking out food and the greenery outside just felt like there was more to life than the confines of his cubicle. Still, deep down he knew peering outside was not a good thing and the company frowned upon taking unnecessary breaks which would prove problematic on the bottom line. He knew the business world was all about making money and viewing life outside was definitely not within the scope of business.

It seems the entire world holds to this view lately. Life is just plain depressing when you isolate your self and alienate yourself from the outside world. It becomes an existence that is all about living indoors and becoming robotic. I sometimes wonder if we are on a road to nowhere because I often think there probably is more to this world than meets the eye. We love seperating ourselves from this world and always try to find external ways to calculate things about this world and our universe. Hell, maybe the answer is staring us in the face maybe we should start thinking about "life" more and realize there is more to it than meets the eye.

Realize living in a cubicle for most of your life is not a good thing. Even if the company were compensating you fairly for doing so it still seems not enough to pay someone for losing part of their life. This world is a fascinating place and I think we all need to start by understanding it better.
