Some might believe that life is a sort of race to be won by the fastest, or at all costs. But living to the fullest doesn't mean living in the fast lane. On the contrary, it means taking a "slow" route, a beautiful, scenic one where you take the time to stop and admire the view, to appreciate the beautiful sunset, to enjoy the company of your fellow riders. Why this maddening desire to be first, to have more than others, to prove one's self to be "the best"? Why this crazy need for competition? Life should be savored like a piece of chocolate cake, a small bite at the time, cherishing all the feelings that such an experience creates. Try doing this, and then - later - gobble your treat down as quickly as possible because you have to eat something else, or because you are in hurry to finish your meal. Compare the two ways of doing the same thing. Which one is more sensible? How many do actually know?
