Through his comics
wisely Quino said: “As always: what is urgent does not leave time
for what is important”. This troubling truth, could
be the prelude to understanding our current stressed society.
I often wonder
why we are so stressed, if we are supposed to live better with all
the technological advances at our disposal, why do we always say that
we do not have time? Or rather why do we not have the time to do what
we really want or need?
I believe, one more time, that the real problem is
that most of the time, we have lost perspective and the balance of
what is really important in our lives. We are losing our own skills
to know how to prioritize, to detect what truly makes us feel owners
of our time and, in the last instance, builders of our happiness.
Funnily, those who know how to handle stress better are the children. Their
cries, jumps, their inexhaustible energy to play and make up
awe-inspiring stories, games and so on, make them free to fall into
"the urgent".
Obviously, they
know what the urgent and the important is: .... happiness.
