Slow Down and Enjoy Life

The world persuades us to go faster never to settle for an average speed but eventually faster puts us off the road proving nothing good comes from greed The fast pace of life takes enjoyment far far away taking out the good the beautiful scenery you've missed flashes past you as it has stood Where are you going in life? do you actually know at all? to know the sense of all this watch out you've missed the call As well as the sense of your way there's also why this is to be going so fast too difficult to stop no matter your machinery or the fee Learn to regulate your pace in common with life's expectation what's life really doing for you? turn your throttle for real motivation (Quote: Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.') - Eddie Cantor (1892- 1964)

You are so right Gordon my friend - I always compare people to ants, everyone driving on the highway nose to tail, thousands of cars and people, its what we all do every day, I agree we have to slow down, but slowing down too much could also be risky, people are trying to survive any which way, it is however very sad that many youngsters choose the wrong path - my motto is everything in moderation. Great write Gordon, well penned. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
