Within my reach!
I could have touched!
I might have chanced that way!
Soft sauntered through the village,
Sauntered as soft away!
So unsuspected violets
Within the fields lie low,
Too late for striving fingers
That passed, an hour ago. -Emily Dickinson
Is fullfilmeant ever really enough? People's desire and greed only lats forever with how much we experience it today. Its not bad to desire and want more but at what point do we forget to stop and look at the harm? Only when we've had enough for our own pleasure, only when we have to face the damage we've caused our loved ones,only when someone elses life and free will become a objactacle and this becomes a race.We become afraid of not having evrything we dreamt of in our hands in mere moments, yet we rush so much that we abandon people and logic behind trying to trail up to our godspeed we set without much thought for the rest ofour body.Hungry eyes being the one running and the rest of ourselves being dragged along.
How can we not to when in this day and age evrything is fast and we all complain about how time flies away from our grasp?If you were to ask me if i feel this way, my anwser would be yes that im afraid of being left behind in my life plans because ive seen what slow pace does to people. But i must also mention how fast pace makes me anxious and feel like waiting is horrible.Its almost like the fairytale of the rabbit and the turtule. Slow and determined wins the race and the fast and assured losses. So how should someone live in this age our rabbits when all we have is turtules and rabbits yet we standarize fast over slow, why must we live our lives in speed and only look the surroundings and not enjoy the moments we will never experience again. Life shouldnt be a race it must though have a pace each individual can enjoy and keep up with. Do not let your life pass you but do not also leave your chance to see it behind.
"What do people think?"
"Life is going in a balanced rate, the problem is we sometimes tend to rush ourselves or feel unmotivated that we slow down"
"It depends, fast when you don't focus on the time and slow when you are focused on the time, for example you spent time with your friends in the mall and then time flies by and it's already when you guys are aparting away then your home alone or with family waiting to be tomorrow and it's slow"
"I feel like the more you grow up the more it seems to go fast, and I think it's not really pleasant..."
"Life Is too short, but its the way It Is and we must accept It, also, i think that if Life was longer things wouldnt hit the same"
"Life seemed to go by so slowly when I was a kid; life was simpler then, life was all sunshine and rainbows, and now that I'm an adult, life is going by super fast because of adulting, and having to quickly accomodate to this new stage of life that is so pressurized by society. But life is life, and even though I regret so many things because of my overthinking, I just have to accept that the past is the past and nothing can change it."
"I'd say it goes by too fast when I have deadlines. When not it goes at a lovely pace. I rarely think life is going by too slowly"
