Slow down to appreciate every minute of your life

A friend from Chicago was telling me about how he watched a coyote carrying her pup across the freeway and thought she was safe when she was only in between the two freeways so she kept going. A car hit her and it caused a pile up. He said “Something must be wrong with me, I was more worried about her than the human aspect, but humans are in such a hurry.” He then went on to tell me how fast people drive there.

People drive too fast everywhere, they don’t appreciate their surroundings, the drive, the world going by. They want to get from point A to point B to point C without recognizing the way. There is a belief about the relevance of time, the more you are in a hurry, the faster time goes by. It makes sense when you think of how in a hurry you are to be a grown up and get away from your parents, (which by the way, you really never do.) Time takes forever to become an adult and have the ability to make your own decisions. When you get there you realize that comes with responsibilities, namely, bills. So thus, the rat race from point A to point C to hustle around, break speed limits, pay bills, have children, buy diapers, feed a family.
