Day after day, week by week and slowly, year by year, the world is picking up speed, everything started to look like totally disconnected from reality and everything around looks like a piece of theater, film translated into reality on the screens and though often not realize that it really is true. We have become some people do not realize that what they see or already no longer touches anything. A movie you've seen so many times that nothing surprises you. Already becoming a normal thing to come out from underground to see the same beggar in his arms and standing with a cardboard that says "Help!". It's common to move on as if nothing happened. You are too hasty and did not know if it's substantive reality.
Everything else seems to look on the fly. Many times I wonder where the world rushes. Today I was in subway stations and one of the parked train driver announced for two minutes. It took too long to hear the sorrow, swearing or other comments about parking. Only two minutes and the world on fire. The world stops and runs continuously in the street and you wonder where such a hurry. You are born, live your life, then die. Like this show a great life of a man. You can also sprinkle small or great achievements to take with you anyway. If you anymore and in a hurry, you are born, live your life in a hurry with all your achievements, then die. Even elders rush. I heard some time ago someone said, "where rush-hour? They should not rush for no longer have much time anyway. It should even stall! "
Today's world is picking up speed and details of life can not be observed. All the whole world. If it so, I'm not rushed. Stop the world, I want to get off. I know what I heard it through several places, but it fits.

Well yes it seems that it takes longer to travel nowadays and I think this is world wide. Perhaps it is due to the increase in population which in turn brings an increase in a whole lot of other things such as more vehicles in the road causing an increase in traffic, more pedestrians crossing the road which lengthens the time you need to wait before you can drive through and with an increase in family size more people are opting to use bigger vehicles. Well what can I say but alas this is the price of progress.
