I remember elderly advice coming from all fronts:
Eat slowly
Talk slowly
Write slowly and many others advice. I would wonder what was wrong with them all.
As I grew up, the era was all about running fast. We were fed immediate gratification from food to relationships to sex, all on a single mobile tap. Slow ended up becoming a vice. We want everything quick and now.
All these years, startup founders got the same teachings. Fast is cool, but as money has dried up, slowing down is new cool.
Our life is limited, I understand, even then: we should live like a human, not a cyborg.
Slow down, breathe, listen to birds chirping, and observe the stars, the colors of plants around, and the trees. You are lucky, unlike those whom the pandemic killed.
