Slow movement

Yes there is one

Now it is official that speed is not good for us

Except in appropriate situations that is

So if you want to look at this go to http://www.inpraiseofslow.com/

The book is called "In praise of slowness"

Like so many others it has hit a nerve and is popular

Like so many before it has sensible things to say

Like many others without going deeper it offers some steps in the right direction

So many people saying the same things with different words
.
Such a jumble of ideas everyone with his own twist
.
Keep looking until you find those that resonate with you
.
Do not waste time on those that are convoluted
Or difficult to read and understand
.
Those that don't seem to say anything
.
And if what they ask you to do does not seem sensible or reasonable leave well alone
.
Move on, there is truth out there but precious little in the breathelss panting excitment of popular authors
.
Just experiment until you learn that true growth and learning are inside us
.
We are resposible for our own growing
.
We just need to find how to do this
.
No one can do it for us
.
Just hard work on ourselves to be better people
.
Just try to be less judgemental
.
Nicer and more thoughtful
.
That will do for a start
.
Oh and slowing down might also be helpful
