Man, are we too fast?
Yes we are. We are living in a fast paced society where slow is not an option?
Last week, I took a slow walk around Tampines neighbourhoood. A good 2 hour walk. People are rushing past me as though I'm a not important barricade in their path. I began to wonder why people are always rushing? Ever rushing.
Taking the escalator is suppose to be a relaxing job since you can save the effort of climbing up the stairs. Yet some people decide to walk up the escalator. Are they really rushing for time or is it they want some exercise?
At the traffic light waiting to cross the road. The car is still at a distant, let's cross! Oh, why? Can't you wait for a little moment more for the light to turn red. You would rather sacrifice a little waiting time in exchange for a risk of ending your life sooner. Are they really rushing their time or are they testing their reflexibility?
Take a break from the rush and enjoy the beating of the wind, the splashing of the sun, the shouting of the sea and the speech of humans. When's the last time you slow down yourself and take a break from the fast paced society to enjoy? Did you really enjoy?
Come on people, slow down and take a break from your life. There's a Chinese saying that says that taking a break means preparing for the longer route ahead. Yeah, we are not robot that operate 24 hours a day. No matter what we do, we deserve a break. Pamper yourself abit does no harm. Don't over do it.
Understand? Let's enjoy the moonlight tonight!
