Speeding Through the Highway of LifeI get up in the morning and get instant noodles for breakfast, partnering it with instant coffee. Commuting to the office where I will have my job interview, I ride on the train and get instantly transported downtown, where I then ride a cab to instantly get in front of the office building. It took me 2 hours to get to the office, just to find out that my interview is finished in an instant--just over 5 minutes.~~ My life is flying too fast, as everyone who has lived in the metro for the last 2 decades have such lives. It's really uncomfortable to live like this, rushing though time like someone's going after me. Once I said that I wanted to be a grandfather immediately, displaying my then-enthusiasm for instant things. Now that I'm into it and accelerating my life in the highway of time, I realized that this is not how I wanted it to be. For the last 20 years I've been living my life like this. I already want to slow down. I want to have time back to myself so that I can sit down, relax, and ponder what the rest of the years has in store for me. I wished there was a quick exit, like some magical item that can transport my spirit back into those days when I've been living a relatively carefree life. I am not as busy a lot of people. That is something that I know very much, but it's still sad that I have to do a lot of things in order to maintain my current status, or else find myself nosediving down the social ladder. How I wish I could just get off the highway and bring myself somewhere where people are not aware about me. My spirit is tired, but it's already the start of one long journey--one overwhelming journey ahead of me. I wish I could meditate once in a while. That way my spirit could get a little better. |
