Why do people drive so fast? What was wrong with horse and buggies?

I know we can't slow down
connect in our own town
cause there's somethin down the road
that we can't wait to hold...
and we need it now right quick
like a drug cause we are sick

but I can't drive that fast
and I want to see it last
I still want the cure
-only slower

It's shocking how rushed people are and often forced into that way, career and life's daily challenges not letting up for even a moment. It shows on the roads but it takes just a second to lose control and for life to change in catastrophic ways. So much better to leave early and take a bit longer on your journey.

@PatientlyWaiting25 I'm glad I retired before the workplace got so hectic!!
Where I worked we had a computer where we had to have an account with a personal password. My manager wanted me to give him my password, when I said no, it's personal he got mad & said that he was my superior, I told him that he was my superior in position ONLY & he was my equal in every other was. He hated me from that day & worked to black-ball me every chance he could. He got fired for it when the owners found out.

@RockinPop54 I'm an aromatherapist, my boss is a friend, I work out of her hair and beauty salon. She is pretty decent but she would still kick my arse if I messed around and kept paying clients waiting.

@PatientlyWaiting25 Understood - You have a client list & appointment times.
I was always in the electronics repair industry; as long as I got repairs done & ready for customers to pick up, all was well & I was there for 8 hours.

People are in a hurry to beat you to the next light!
If they get to sit at the red light 30 seconds longer than you they feel as though they won because they're in front of your slow poke-ness! LOL!!

@RockinPop54 In todays society, people create little victories for themselves, to mask the frustration..😷

@YoMomma I remember hitch hiking in Pennsylvania and seeing the no buggy sign for the freeway as I was making my way to the on ramp area where I could stand. They have an Amish community in PEI where they have the buggies on the road
