Some times I wish that time could stop for a while, t wish that every thing stop; trains, planes, trucks. I whish the movement in the streets could stop. I wish that all companies, institutions, and journals stop working as what happened during national days. I wish that all kinds of broadcasting could stop and the continuous political debate over. I wish every thing could stop moving exactly in the way presented in the scientific fiction or fantasy movies, a man stops while he was moving down stairs, cars stops, and every thing have been frozen except me.

I'm the only one who could move among those frozen shapes. For only one second, I can take a deep breathe, as deep as possible. I wish I could fill my lungs with pure air for the first time. After that every thing can back to life again.

Life is so fast and days go like a fast train that has no stations to stop at. Who can believe that the year 2000, that was thought to be the first step towards the humane prosperity, had been passed and also ten years after and nothing changed?

Life is so fast and heads are turning to gray. Events come successively like the rain drops. Events happened and ended before we realize how and why. Dears die even before we could tell them how much we loved them. The currency of the life river is so fast that no one can resist, every one is taken by its way. Every thing goes so fast; we eat fast, move fast, love fast, and also hate fast.

Fastness of life destroyed many things; there is no security and fear controlled. Happiness became a strange rare word that can be read only in proverbs and quotes that some people repeat all the time as a kind of drug. Words like contemplation, relaxation, leisure time, patience and satisfaction all had disappeared from our life.

 And here you are; confused all the time, trying to keep the moment but you can't, as if you try to catch water, but you will never be able to, try to get the lesson but the course is over, trying to answer the exam but the time is over even before you write your first words of your answer. And in the same time you have to run fast as every body do, because if you stopped for a second, you will be done.

I always feel that the tempo of life is much faster than it should be. Is there any thing wrong about timing system? Is there any problem affecting the speed of the earth circulation? The scientists said that the speed of the earth circulation at the tropics is 1670 k\hr which means 465 meters per second. Then it slows down towards the north till becomes 312 meter per second at the circle 50, and it becomes zero at the Antarctic and Arctic circles.

So, if the speed of earth circulation differs from a place to another, is the speed of the place where I live higher, which caused the fast tempo of life? Is the tempo of life is slower in other places and zero in others where we find serenity?

Is the Greenhouse effect and expansion of Ozone hole, which contributed in increasing the heat, caused a general feeling of being bored and fed up? So, many people tried to escape to shadow in quite places! This point of view is supported and approved by an article that I read several years before which contains a study that refers to a kind of relationship between the high temperature and the general mood of people. I remember that the article mentioned that the increase of fights and quarrels has a relationship with the high temperatures. And it is a possibility which is approved to be right according to people. Heat makes people feel bored and nervous, and so, fight because of trivial reasons in bus, stores, lines, etc.

Did the technology have a role to turn man into a part of a huge machine? Or the bad circumstances are the main reason that made “worry” to be the disease of the age? Experts did not pay attention to such disease till it became the prominent motif for all people; the rich, the poor, the young, the old, men and women; everyone tries to get what he desires.

 The lack of belief may be anther reason. People nowadays have lost that strong connection with God, this connection which supports, protects and strengthens man, it provides man with security, safety and the psychological and social peace. If it is not the lack of belief the reason, then what is the reason?

I need a moment, I need only one moment to breathe and fill my lungs with pure air. I need to stop, for the first time, to purify my soul and taste how much beautiful the pure air is. I need to stop to be able to chase and catch the flying beautiful happiness.
