Slow Down, Now

Jet speed in jet age. How fast is fast enough? Man has forgotten to slow down. Forgotten to pause a moment, to stop, to think, to help, to feel, to admire. Where is the world heading towards? Destruction, in my opinion. We are exhausting our natural resources fast. We are exhausting our financial resources fast. We want a fast remedy for our ailments, for our mental worries, for our mental stress. There are no brakes, there's only an accelerator. Imagine such a vehicle in a high density traffic. Thats the vehicle we are driving.

What is required for us to slowdown? We think taking a vacation for a week in a year and going out with family switching off all our mobile phones is a great way to slowdown and rejuvenate and enjoy and recharge ourselves. Well, I dont want to enjoy only 1 week in a year. Instead I want to enjoy 365 days a year, year on year. Relax. Play with your kids. Water your plants in your garden. Feed your fishes. Play with your dog. enjoy the flowers. you wouldnt need a vacation. These are some things which money can never buy at a later date. 10 years later everything around you would have changed. You wouldn't even have memories to live with if you didnt slowdown now!
