I fear that this is no longer just a cultural phenomenon in the United States, but a global one. We are immersed in an endless rat race, where everything is due yesterday. During the Covid pandemic, it seemed for a brief moment that society had taken advantage of this pause in activity to rediscover the pleasure of enjoying life without rushing. The reality is that, at least in my personal opinion, the phenomenon of acceleration has increased. The sad thing is that there comes a point when our body, mind, or both at the same time, take it upon themselves to slow us down "the hard way" if we do not heed their signals. For some, it is too late, but that is their responsibility. Like you, I prefer to savour every moment, including that supposed boredom that actually makes us more creative and fulfilled. Thank you so much for this reflection.
