When Speed Becomes a Sickness
One evening at an airport, a father spotted a book called "One-Minute Bedtime Stories" and felt a surge of excitement-finally, a way to speed up the nightly ritual with his son. Then came the gut punch: What kind of person was he becoming? "Scrooge with a stopwatch," he'd later call himself. This moment of clarity sparked a global investigation into our collective addiction to speed and the quiet rebellion rising against it. We've all joined this cult. Klaus Schwab warns that we're moving from a world where the big eat the small to one where the fast eat the slow. But this race is leaving casualties everywhere-burnout, obesity, sleep deprivation, relationships reduced to text messages. Half of British adults have lost touch with friends because they're too busy. Children suffer most, overscheduled like miniature executives, juggling tutoring and sports with no time to simply be kids. Anxiety and depression now appear in five-year-olds. Why are we so time-poor despite material wealth? Western culture views time as linear and finite, something to squeeze dry. Christianity added pressure to use every moment productively. Technology promised liberation but delivered new demands-email created mountains of correspondence, washing machines led to washing clothes more frequently. Our brains crave the neurochemical rush of speed, becoming "velocitized" like drivers who can't slow down. Sometimes speed becomes a strategy for distraction, helping us avoid uncomfortable truths about mortality and unhappiness. In the sensory rush, we forget what we'd rather not remember.
