Overcoming Time

MILTON SIMON

Because in this modern world the pace is faster than the one our ancestors were accustomed to, people are continually being warned about untoward physical results if they fail to "slow down." If we are not to be swept along in the current of mortal thought and dominated by time, the demand is that we rise superior to the tension and hurry around us.

An Indian chief once remarked to a friend of mine, "You're a slave to your watch. You look at it and rush to a train for the office. You look at it again and rush to lunch. You look at it again and rush back. Later you look at it and rush home. You're a slave to time!"
