Proof of the need for simplicity and slowness to attain JOY!

The average man eats in a hurry and gets dyspepsia. He walks in a
hurry and gets apoplexy. He talks in a hurry and begins to stutter.
He does business in a hurry and becomes bankrupt. He votes in a hurry and
produces corruption. He marries in a hurry and gets a divorce. He
trains his children in a hurry and develops spendthrifts and delinquents.
He makes his will in a hurry and leaves a legal contest. He dies in a
hurry and goes to the devil.

And his tribe steadily increases.

MORAL? Slow down.
