Quickness and Happiness.

          In today’s world the thing that is very scarce is ‘ones time’. Everyone is busy with one or the other thing. Nothing wrong, it’s the outcome of the corporate lifestyle which we lead.

           We want the things to go quickly. From the food we cook to the internet we use. Being slow isn’t an accepted thing. At times it feels as if being slow is being weak.

          Right from the young age we are forced to be quick. When going to school we are said to eat our breakfast quickly. When we want to board a bus, we are said to board it quickly. Even in classes, there is quickness seen while submitting projects or while finishing off the notes.

          Even when we grow up ‘The quick’ stuffs won’t slow down. Be it riding a 2 wheeler or driving a car, slow isn’t accepted, even finishing the targets given always seems good if it’s done quickly.

          The thinking of ‘Happiness lies at the end’ is stuffed in our head, something like winning at the end of the race or finishing off the exam at the end of the academic year. We feel happiness is derived at the end of the process and try to finish it off quickly.

         We apply the ‘Happiness at end’ policy towards everything, which makes us fail to notice the most important thing that is happiness lies in the process and not at the end result.

What we need to understand is doing the things quickly and finishing it off need not always give you happiness.

  

Enjoying the process of doing anything slowly surely has its own charm.
