The paradox of rushing!

I am not sure if you had the chance to see this, but it is amazing!

Every morning hundreds of people are rushing to get to the metro (subway) and then out of it. Then they rush to catch the bus, as if waiting for the next bus, coming in 5 or 10 minutes later would change their life. I guess for some this 5 to 10 minute changes makes a difference, as time is money. However, the issue that I am bringing to light is not the money concern, but rather is the notion of time. Yes, time!

How is it possible that this hundreds of people are not so punctual and they are so late that they have to rush to catch the next bus or the metro in order to get to the preferred destination! Is this the weather? I don’t think so! Is this the family life? I don’t think so, as majority of them share the same situation! Are we lacking sleep, going to bed late at night and so we have to compensate in the morning for the missing sleep hours?! I can not be sure of it either?! So what is it that make many people to rush like this? I guess we are so joyful to go back to work environment and enjoy our working colleagues…..not sure either! Or is the assignment that intrigues us all to play in the film of life with such a hectic behavior and forget to smell the roses! Or maybe is the number of activities (grooming, getting kids ready for school, etc.) that we have to accomplish before we get to our station! So, can we say that the schooling we did, did teaches us to be punctual and organize. Although we are all rushing from metro to bus and maybe second or third bus, how come we are not all late every once in a while, knowing that the chance of missing one of the connecting bus or metro would totally alter the time we are rushing in?!

Is this our parents that they forget to teach us on this concern! I am not even sure if they have anything to do with this notion!?

So why are we in such a rush!?
