Don’t haste, just don’t

I believe in the theory of a life having its own axis, same as every living thing on this earth that has had its own time from birth to death.

For me time is a magnificent thing that God has given us, time passes by with a million secrets and wonders in it, we have no idea of what will happen tomorrow and in blink of an eye. Some of us definitely want to change an event in the past, some of us want to see the future and some of us want to have superpower as time travelers.

“Lost time is never found again.” — Benjamin Franklin.

Don’t haste too expeditious for a moment that may not necessarily come twice or even the the third time, hasting won’t make you enjoy life, especially if you just spend too much time thinking about things you don’t need to think about, things which just makes you worry too much. This life doesn’t work for you to waste your valuable time like that.

Life is not like a train that travels so fast to reach its final destination and skips the view outside the window. Sometimes, we need to become a turtle to appreciate one moment in our life longer. Therefore, don’t haste.

This writing is addressed to those of you who are currently in a haste and as a reminder to just walk slowly, because slowly doesn’t mean you won’t arrive, slowly doesn’t mean you are slow, appreciate whatever is around you, a blue sky, a green plant, your coffee or tea, your happiness, sadness also anger and everything to make deeper meaning of this life.
