A big Snail question : Why do humans wish to be fast? And work for it?

Humans seem often running, in a rush…

They look like running after the time.

So, they try to do things faster.

 

They try to optimize the time by working.

Doing something they are good at and avoid to spend time on other tasks where they will be slower.

 

Inventing machines to do their tasks in their place, as « washing machine »  instead of hand-wash, « car »  instead of walk or going by bike.

 

 

But, what is the point of being fast ?

 

It is to have time to do more things ?

It seems not, because humans spend a huge amount of time at work and delegate the things they have to do with money.

 

It is to have more pleasant moments, more « life quality » ?

Do they think being faster will help ?

 

To snails spend their lifetime trying to go faster makes no sense.

Snails wish to have all the time, they really don’t want to spread it faster.

 

 

 

To understand the snails way of thinking, you can read or hear this famous snails tale :

 

“The magic watches of the twins, able to skip unpleasant time”

 

snails tales

This story was often told in snail villages in the evening after a friendly salad banquet.

It was related by the first snails observing humans.
