What For?

The Latin poet Ovid said that everything takes place gradually and at the right time. Don’t YOU say it and affirm that you believe it? But how patiently do you wait for the results you are hoping to? Not always are you willing to work longer or harder to achieve your goal, to wait till tomorrow for what you believe you should get today. You prefer to ride your car rather than walk because it’s swifter. You eat fast food because you are served more quickly. Your life seems directed by speed and "increased efficiency", because you can do more things in a shorter time. But what for? WHAT FOR? Does your life become happier, more fulfilling? Do you ever truly relax? The verb “to wait” is becoming obsolete and people choose to run, rush, hasten, speed up....till where? till when?
