I think that we give the impression, to carry on your metaphor, that we go a little faster than we actually do. I'm fairly lazy so I'm always interested in slowing down.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm trying to look at many, many things in modern life that I believe are going faster, and I'm trying to look at why they're going faster and what effect they have on us. We all know about FedEx and instant pudding, but it doesn't mean we've looked at all the consequences of our desire for speed.
People like to imagine that because all our mechanical equipment moves so much faster, that we are thinking faster, too.
I don't feel like I'm slowing down.
The haste of a fool is the slowest thing in the world.
I'm not one about trying to slow things down. What I try to do is create an atmosphere for my family where we can pretty much have whatever.
While we are postponing, life speeds by.
My speed is a gift from God, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, it all comes from him.
There is more to life than increasing its speed.
'In Praise of Slowness' chronicles the global trend towards deceleration that has come to be known as the Slow Movement. Don't worry, though: it is not a Luddite rant. I love speed. Going fast can be fun, liberating and productive. The problem is that our hunger for speed, for cramming more and more into less and less time, has gone too far.
Even if I don't want to slow down, I'm slowing down.
