Here’s an interesting take on the obsession with speed…

“Speed. It has become a passion, an obsession, a religion in the world we live in. We try to do more and more with less and less time. We turn every moment of every day into a race to the finish line — a finish line we never reach. But amid all this, deep inside of us, we know: In between all those goals, there is a thing called life that has to be lived and enjoyed. That less is very often more, that slower is better. But decelerating is hard. And for some of us, the easiest way to slow down is to speed up.”
