We life in a fast world. We are not living but we are dragged by our life. The true beauty of life is hidden in subtle corners. So, slow down and take time observe this beauty. Cherish it. Celebrate it. After all that's why we all are here. The ultimate aim of our life is to be one with THE ABSOLUTE BEAUTY.
Here's a excerpt from Henry David Thoreau's journal.
"A
broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man’s life as in a book. Haste
makes waste no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the
hours of the universe, not of the railroad cars. What are threescore years and
ten hurriedly and coarsely lived to moments of divine leisure, in which your
life is coincident with the life of the universe. We live too fast and
coarsely, just as we eat too fast, and do not know the true savour of our food.
We consult our will and our understanding and the expectation of men, not our
genius. I can impose upon myself tasks which will crush me for life and prevent
all expansion, and this I am but too inclined to do. Our moment of life costs
many hours, hours not of business, but of preparation and invitation. Yet the
man who does not betake himself at once to sawing is called a loafer, though he
may be knocking on the doors of heaven all the while, which will surely be
opened to him. That aim in life is highest which requires the highest and
finest discipline. How much, what infinite leisure it requires, as of a
lifetime, to appreciate a single phenomenon! You must camp down beside it as
for life, having reached your land of promise, and give yourself wholly to
it."
