We are so much in a hurry that we have forgotten the joy of slow. We grew up in the era of pen friends and priced international calls or Internet usage and connections. It required lots of thinking, and we had content to converse over. We are overburdened with mobile notifications with less substance to talk over now.
As we progressed with globalization and capitalism, the infrastructure improved. Everything is at your fingertips, makeup, breakup, or ordering vegetables. Sadly Ambulance still takes more than 10 mins to reach our doorsteps.
Slow is no more virtue. The wait to watch the next episode of TV series for next week or waiting an entire year to buy Levis jeans in November from the end-of-season sale at half price is no more.
Are we a robot, enjoying less of our life with these little joys? Is this fast pace killing us?
