Why so fast?

Why do we need a fast pace of life? I much prefer a slow pace myself for many reasons, the main one being how much you miss by rushing around. Is it a planned pace by the elite few who control most things. Get every one to rush all the time and they will hardly notice what is going on in the world. I think the whole human race needs to take a more global attitude, forget about all this we are different from them rubbish, fed to us by the media and governments. We are all the same, we are human beings one and all. Imagine a world full of people all working for the common good of not only each other but also for the well being of our planet too. This planet is our home, would you treat your house the way we treat this planet? Much of the damage we are doing is due to this pace of life, always wanting more and faster. There are limited resources in the earth, yet we waste so much just to live our fast paced disposable little lives. Money is said to be the root of all evil, but money is just a man made device for trade; man invented money so really it should say man is the root of all evil. If we wanted we could change the way the world works in a day, just by refusing to use money, we don't need it! What if you just went to work because you wanted to contribute to the well being of are race, and not for pay. If you needed something you go to a shop and get it no charge. Take away all the profits and targets and just do things that need to be done, every one doing a fair share of work for the common good.
I will have to add to this later as I have a doctors appointment at 11:20, so need to go get ready now keep happy.
