As days go by I looked back at something that I am disappointed by. This one thing is that so many people just do not slow down and just take a breather. Some many people are just so worried by life. No one wants to take a break and look at the finer things in life.
I am surrounded by people all the time. These people just seem to drift through the hallways like drones. It is like they are programmed to focus only on work. Not aloud to rest, not aloud to sit down and relax, it is almost like they are not aloud to be themselves. There are a good amount of people who are just so focused on their life and their problems that they just do not see other people. I feel like I am in an obstacle course everyday, weaving between the hordes of people storming through the hallways.
This situation seems to remind me about the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. In this book it was against the law to drive slow or just walk down the street. Everyone was aggressive, and everyone was self absorbed. It is amazing how much Ray Bradbury wrote that has actually come true. People in this book, just like people in the now do not want to stop and look at the sky and enjoy life, so many people are always rushing.
No wonder the number of cases of heart attacks, cerebral aneurysms, and strokes have increased. People are just getting crushed by the pressure. Everyone would have a better and happy life if they would just take life slower. I would not like to dwell on the negative parts of society, but the only thing I see in the future is more stress, more war, more self absorbed drones, and more conflict.
But I refuse to fall victim to the fate that has befallen so many others. Everyday when I realize I am rushing I just put my head down and take a breather. It is amazing what a simple deep breath can do.
