In this frenetic world we are living in, all we hear around are shouts of ‘Hurry! Run ! Quick! I don’t have time to waste...don’t be late...don’t delay, Hurry !’ Hurried people complain that others are so slow. Busy folks complain that they don’t have time for the little things others ask them about. We’ve heard the phrase ‘Haste makes waste,’ and so we have to do things all over again if they are done carelessly. We are always rushing around going from one project to another. We put a tea-bag for some tea, and we can’t wait an extra two minutes, but have to squeeze that tea-bag and hope it cools off quickly. We make some coffee, and we can’t wait until it cools off, and some of us, including myself, sometimes place an ice-cube to speed up cooling. We all know that the best soup is that which is cooked slowly on ‘medium’ and longer on ‘low.’ Yet others go as far as micro-waving a bowl of soup! Not to mention our impatience in traffic. Horns beeping, drivers shouting and cursing each other, road rage galore, near misses as someone may be 5 seconds late for a meeting. And how often you encounter a crazy young driver in a red sports car, like a Camaro or Corvette, speeding by your side, and then find him stuck at the traffic light down the road, just in front of you! Thank God in Malta they raised the fine for using a cell-phone while driving a car, and so far the number of accidents have decreased. So, slow down!
