America has become a nation in a constant rush with hardly any time to sit down and eat. Maybe people should slow down to prevent forgetfulness when it comes to the important things.
It is incredible how many thoughts can navigate through ones mind at the same time. Today's society is so rushed people are forced to overtask themselves. We expect people to be able to take a shower,brush their teeth, and take care of a 3 month old baby all at the same time. This is definitely not a good thing. People then start to lose focus on what matters. Your children become a burden and not an enjoyment as they should be. Your work, or school(as in most of our cases), can easily take complete control of your life. Its just like the guy who told his wife that he would drop off his 8 month old kid at day care, And forgot. He went to work with his kid still in the backseat of his car. And even worse, he went out at lunch, opened the front door, grabbed his ham and cheese sandwich and still ddin't notice his child was dieing in the backseat. when he came out at 8 p.m. he found his child dead. That was probably one of the worst moments of his life. Now we say 2 our self that this man is a horrible parent and an extreme example. But it could happen to u or me.perhaps not with a child but something else that we hold dear. Because most of us rush just as much as this man did. And all because he rushed and rushed and rushed. You see if people would only slow down. We all have the ability to find time to watch movies, TV,play video games, go on myspace, facebook,myyearbook, and all sorts of websites, But we somehow cant find time to call a friend who needs you. Or to help our parents around the house. And then we turn around a rush like chickens with our heads cut off to go to our million activities, or rush through a family dinner to go watch some dumb t.v. show that is hardly important. If we as people would take a breathe every now and then, Imagine how relaxed, happy, and more helpful we would all be!
