Be Quick; But Don't Hurry!!!

Zoooooooooooooooooooom………..Bike passed by me so fast that it almost gave me a heart attack. I stopped for 3-4 seconds, looked at both the biker and the bike which were already very far from me and nodded my head.I normally walk down to near by places and even to my office so have experienced such minor heart attacks n number of time.

 

Today being a Saturday and I was not in a hurry and luckily mind was also not occupied with anything so somehow my mind drifted towards this bike and biker.

Why was he driving so fast? Was he one of those young brats – rash driver or was he in a hurry?

Normally when we see any biker or car driving like this, we feel like shouting at them, abusing (if one can) and ask - Hey why are you driving so fast? Can’t you see that people are walking on the footpath or crossing the road and many more things can be said to him.

For sure rash driving is bad but today I felt that is it always done intentionally or it becomes a requirement of that particular moment.

The person who is driving fast must be of doing so coz. of two reasons – One is for fun, show off and etc.. But there can be one more reason which we normally never think that he might be in a hurry due to some genuine reason, a reason which is making him break laws, giving minor heart attacks to people on the road and would not want to say the worse of the things which can happen in such situations.

I am not here to write if rash driving is right or wrong. For sure, it is wrong and would never approve of it or ever try it.

This situation made me think that normally the person who know the reality or is facing the situation would only know what n why is he going through. The person walking on his side would not understand the facts and hence should not give any judgement without knowing the reality. One should not just start thinking bad or feel bad or to even say good about this person who is going through. He/She might not even have the time to explain the situation to the world. He is just running n running.

 BUT

Somebody has put it down so well. Might make us think atleast once:

I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I've really gotta do is live and die
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why....

But, not sure still would say one should try not to be in hurry. We should not loose our inner peace for whatsoever reason as someone has said - "Nature is never in hurry but still accomplishes everything"
If we want to live this life, enjoy the breathes we have; we need to live each moment and grow with the each smile of ours and around us. Life is more clear when we see and feel each moment but the time when we start running, it becomes blurred. We can find ways if we are not in hurry.

“Growth happens slowly, slow down today enjoy life without been in hurry”

Keep Smiling... :)
