While it is true that people learned to live quickly we can also learn to take things slowly, I believe that this should be a fundamental learning, not all of us are able to follow an accelerated pace of life especially when you realize that in the speed you fail to really value and enjoy the best things in life. I used to work without rest and be so busy and everything was so fast that one day I realized that I was even neglecting my own life and that the days did not count for the moments but for the hours in which I thought I was productive. I think that speed consumes us and we are rarely able to realize it. Very good post, I learn a lot from your writings.
