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 oneself 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. Then, also try gobbling 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 and... satisfying?
