On one of the ring roads outside London, the Friday afternoon traffic flowed at a decent pace. But every minute or so, the cars ahead of me would slow down a fraction. At one point I realised that this was happening to accommodate the drivers who weave in and out of lanes. Those guys think they’re getting ahead, but in fact, they’re just slowing down the entire system and themselves ultimately.
This made me think: how often in life do we push and force things that interrupt flow in our lives? How much easier would it be if we just gave into the energy that moved life along and gave up wanting to be in control of our destiny? What if we just moved in harmony together as a collective, without each of us trying to gain an advantage over the other and slowing us all down?
