Svenson: everyone needs time

Speed. Supercomputers operate at trillionths of a second. Do you know what that means?   Neither do I, and I have a degree in physics. A trillionth of a second has no human reference.

Everyone needs personal time. Those who say they don’t need time for self are probably the ones who need it the most. We all need time to let the dust settle, to evaluate how life is going, to plan for the future.  

“Since the opportunity for inward attention hardly ever comes, many people have not heard from themselves for a long, long time. Those who are always ‘on the run’ never meet anyone any more, not even themselves.”

Margin (loc.1895ff)
