Chapter 12 Slowly

I have always lived a "slow" life, except for some things that should be done slowly. For example, many years ago, when I was taking a license plate test, I passed a car every time. I panicked and frightened the license plate examiner to brake. Acting slowly is better than fast, and lack is better than excess. He is a "slow doctor" who is most afraid of encountering "short wind". However, on days when the spirit is exhausted and the mood is gloomy, this slowness can easily turn into negligence. People become dead snakes, and elephants are too lazy to swallow them.

Schubiger's "When the World Was Young" recorded a short article called "Slowly", in which there is a "slow man", who is my fellow; this man, he will not go to the newsstand to buy newspapers , because in order to buy a newspaper, he had to go out from the day he learned to take his first step, so that he had time to come back and die at home before the age of seventy-five. The newspapers had to be delivered, but it took a whole day just to reach for them, and what I read was already the next day's newspapers.Of course, you don’t have to read newspapers every day. If you don’t know a little about embarrassing stories about “celebrities” and scandals about high-ranking officials, you can live a peaceful and beautiful life.

When the boat departs, wait for the next one; when one car leaves the station, the next one will come again; do less work, go out earlier, what is there to worry about? However, it is too slow to get along with people, especially with lovers; in Schubiger's little book, lovers complain thus: "By the time he gives me a farewell kiss, I may have returned from my journey. But anyway , I'll get him ready for the kiss. That way our kisses (his farewell kiss and mine) will coincide. By the time he feels mine, I'll probably be leaving again." Slowly, there are slow joys and sorrows.
