why the rush?

So I go to walmart today to run a few errands. This is not my norm. Recently I've tried my hardest to stay away from large retailers [such as walmart]. Man i forgot what it's like in there. it was like a zoo. Everybody was too busy too smile and definately too busy to say excuse me. Everybody was irritated bc the lines were too long, the cashier was too slow, the elderly man crossed the street too slow. it was like a bunch of people aimlessly rushing around with grumpy faces. Why the big rush? I have a busy life too. I had things i really really needed to hurry and get home to do. Such as my paper that is due this time tomorrow that i hadn't even started then. But is the impatient tapping toe and rude comments really going to make the credit card machine work any faster or make the old man walk faster? No, no not even a little bit.
Let's slow down already. Whatever the rush is...it's just not that crucial. Slow down life will go on without being frantic and speedy all the time.
