RE: Being in a hurry kills more of us than war!

in #life8 years ago

thanks for your post Jerry! much needed in these busy times where everything goes faster and faster..it seems like time is accelerating and our minds follow this movement and get hyperactive..i feel it also goes along with everything in our society, internet allows us to get things faster, we can travel faster, communicate faster, make money faster etc... and we are suppose to remain calm in this overload of information and movement around us.. what a challenge for a human being today to have access to all of this and yet remain peaceful and flexible...meditation helps me a lot to get to that state of focus in the present..and not running through life until I die..i feel most of us are afraid to stand still because that maybe a time when we start asking deep questions about ourselves...about what doesn't work in our life.. so we prefer to run.. and to forget.. and keep on doing... without being.. it is a fine line we are walking on..but if we don't take the time to stop, to take our time and reflect, our reality may bring some catastrophe to call our attention..an accident, a disease, anything that can stop us from running until we allow ourselves to change..what an interesting and tough thing to be human..thank you again for your inspiring post!
