Now. We wish everything now. And nosotros alive inwards a time, a society, a marketplace, that aims to render all of it faster than our muddled minds tin muster the desire. Food, entertainment, sex, goods in addition to services, an entire smorgasbord inside our greedy footling grasps at the driblet of a hat. But the inconvenient truth, the pinkish elephant bursting the seams of the room in addition to blocking the door, is that the things which are worth having, doing, or existence are never instant, or easy. I learned the difficult way, over many years, that going fast on a motorbike is 1 of those things. At to the lowest degree for us human beings without much talent.
Seeking speed is similar playing tag alongside an 800 pound grizzly bear. You've got to come upwards up on the behemoth actually slow, from behind, hoping he doesn't select grip of a whiff of you. Quietly creeping e'er towards the unpredictable in addition to savage destination knowing that 1 faux footstep, the snap of a twig, volition convey a globe of wound downward on you. And the existent scary utilisation is, nevertheless practiced you lot become, that grizzly is soundless going to acquire you lot sometimes in addition to paw downward a serious drubbing. All to remind you lot 1 time again:
Going fast is a irksome thing.
