Consequences of Thinking Too Quickly

Time is an enigma and escapes us without us even knowing. Let’s face it: if Einstein and his compatriots could not resolve the problem of time as it exists in quantum mechanics, then it is likely to perplex all of us. Seeing the bigger picture when we are caught up in time becomes impossible as the clock ticks and the eyes fixate on the second hand. We become automatic machines copying the vision of the “click” and losing sight of our purpose.

Step back for a moment and look at what time can do for you. If the clock is the enemy of completion, then you are seeing time within a set of eyes with the shades pulled. The reality is that time is in your favor. It matters not if you are a business person, a teacher, writer or symphonic instrumentalist. Time is your tool to create. This kind of thinking is completely foreign to the majority of the Western world that has been taught that time is money. However, this adage is categorically incorrect.

We live in a world where communication is absolutely critical to each of us. We have internet and telephone systems that give us links to every other form of communication on the planet, and, one hundred thousand TV stations to choose from. The irony is that within each system, humans have devised ways to make communicating on these systems happen in the fastest way possible with BRB, TTYL and OMG! These communication systems have linked us literally to every other human on the planet and we are rushing it, even with our loved ones! 2BZ4UQT. (Figure it out.)

Communication, as defined by Wikipedia, is:

“Communication is a process whereby meaning is defined and shared between living organisms. Communication requires a sender, a message, and an intended recipient, although the receiver need not be present or aware of the sender’s intent to communicate at the time of communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space. Communication requires that the communicating parties share an area of communicative commonality. The communication process is complete once the receiver has understood the sender.”

This is a particularly modern view of communication which the italicized portion of the definition denotes. This is due to telephone systems and all other forms of electronic information distribution having recreated the original form of the word. In essence, we don’t have to listen; the concept is send the message and maybe I’ll get back to you!

To reverse this trend, and feel like time is in our favor, you can call up your son or daughter on the phone and have a complete conversation where ideas are heard by both parties and shared ideas are formed. What a great concept! It’s called a relationship. It’s a good thing. Commutation has a lot to do with it too. We have the tools in our hands to make communication better than it has ever been in our short human history . . . if we stop looking at the second hand.

In essence, time is in our favor. It always has been. It’s a tool we can use to create things on every possible level, and considering what a gift we are to ourselves, it probably makes sense to get on the phone and call your wife when she least expects it and say “I love you.” Yes, there is a texting acronym for that too. Look it up. 2BZ4UQT.
