Slow Motion or Fast Forward?

It's weird. I see people going about their daily life and everything is as if it's in fast forward. Everyone is in a hurry to get to where they are going, get done with what their doing, etc. And I look at this as if I'm looking out in slow motion... taking it all in. Aware.... even if it's just for a moment (because I am not immune to this phenomenon either). Doesn't anyone 'stop and smell the roses' anymore? 'We don't have time', 'too much to do', 'we have to get it all in'... that sort of thinking. Quantity over quality. And it's not just this time of year either. It's all the time. Speeding into oblivion, while being oblivious to that fact.
