Right before you don't miss out on the fun

The age of speed in which we live has made us obsessed with speed. It made us race against time to catch up on everything. We want to live unique experiences every day, every hour, and every moment if we can. From the speed of our lives, we mix things together and do not give everything its due. At work we want to communicate with family, family and friends, and at home we want to catch up with work and its requirements, news and deals, and when traveling we want to live all the experiences and not miss any detail, whether in the place of travel or the place of residence, and while we are studying we want to jump into the work environment not To learn it, but to live with it, and so everything in our lives is intertwined with each other until we have lost a lot of fun while we are looking for fun.

The strange thing is that our obsession with going through more experiences has reached the point of madness, so you find who wants to become Messi in the football field, Elon Musk in wealth, money, trade and business management, Michael Schumacher in driving a car, Einstein in science, Plato or Aristotle in philosophy, Ibn Battuta in travel and tourism, while the loss of focus on the goal makes us fail in many things, so that this situation loses us the pleasure of the thing we are doing and we lose with it the stability and psychological integrity of our souls, many of us live in an internal conflict and he pursues this and that until he loses himself.

From my point of view, social media and the Internet are among the means that have deepened this feeling for us, that we can do everything at the same time, and deepened our feeling of inferiority and that time is very short and we must catch up before we miss the train. A place in the world so we want to be like them, and we see people who win millions every day and we want to be in their place, and we see people practicing sports, drawing, singing and dancing and we want to catch up with them and outperform them, while all of these or at least the majority of them only do the same thing all the time, Their focus is on something basic and the rest of their actions are secondary or additional things, but we want to focus on everything, take advantage of everything, love everything, and catch up on everything.

It is true that the train of life is very fast, but this does not mean that we live our lives while we are panting to reach dispersed and overlapping points that waste our energies, tire our psyches, make our lives difficult, and in the end we do not reach any point. Never to mix our papers and look for our pleasure in the wrong place and direction. It is our right to enjoy while we work, but our pleasure is related to our work. It is our right to enjoy our family life, but to make it pure in its time, place and time. We practice it with love and passion, not to portray to others that our life is perfect, and we have the right to set ourselves dreams, but we do not associate them with false ideals portrayed by some celebrities.

The pleasure of life is to give the moment its due, not to jump and distract yourself between moments so as not to make your life fleeting moments, but make them immortal moments.
