Why Hurry

Coffee aroma tingling the nostrils,glow of the first sun ray on the skin, pleasant sight of a blooming flower--all have become bygone, since man is busy chasing money. Smile of a baby,beauty of a drizzle have been forgotten. he is so focused on goal that he no longer looks at the field he is playing in. Greed to be at the top,has de-humanised him. everything has become a battle and each one a warrior. is this really what a life is worth? everything in the nature enjoys being itself and lives in harmony except for us. he is the only one who keeps track of time and chases it down but in vain. in the midst of tall and glass buildings he forgot the shade of trees. he progressed in tech but fears himself. invented weapons but always afraid of the inner self. talks good but thinks bad. no one has set alarm button for life except for man. schedules fare for machines but man is living in it, though when its hell,making others jump in the well. A river does not create a new flow but flows to create a path. only flows forward and never looks back what it has gone through. not bothering about the journey.vigorously flowing ,assimilating so many new things. A beautiful world is to be enjoyed now,not yesterday nor tomorrow. An hour spent with nature is worth more than thousand lives. Hope a day comes when man lives his life and letting others do the same.
