Moving

I was sitting in the back of my car, just staring out the window when I noticed, the things closer to me were moving really fast and the things slowed down as the distance increased. Farther the thing is from you, it moves less. The shrubs and trees next to the road just zoomed past while those farther beyond, I had to wait for a while before the scene changed.

How strange! If you think about drawing parallels, people are the same. The ones that we observe from far or those we aren't so familiar with, remain more or less the same over a course of time. You observe hardly any difference 'cos it's so superficial. The closer somebody is to you, one can notice the change faster, they move too fast. Even the slightest things affect you. The closer they get, more they seem to change with time. And the worst of all, they are the ones that matter to us most. So obviously, they affect us most. 

The only way then out of this seems to by running at the same pace. All we can do is keep up with them so that they always are by our side. There is no time to tire out, no time to stop or they will be far gone and you're left in the company of those that are farther away from you. They don't matter as much do they?

Can we slow down for a bit? Can we take a break? Can we stop running for a while? If those close to you slow down, you are damn lucky. If not, just wait for you to get lucky, but never lose heart its coming to you, life always has a plan for you.

And most importantly, when somebody does wait for you, stop, acknowledge and hold on to the person forever because you never know if you will ever get anyone like that again. :)
