This comes at a cost: we lose that time forcontemplation(注视,沉思),for observing and listening. We lose peace.
And worse yet: all the rushing around is oftencounterproductive(事与愿违的).I know, in our society action is all-important —inaction(无为,懈怠)is seen as lazy and passive and unproductive. However, sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, all sound and fury, but get nothing done. Or you can get a lot done — but nothing important. Or you can hurt things with your actions, make things worse than if you’d stayed still.
And when we are forced to be still — because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train — we often getantsy(坐立不安),and need to find something to do. Some of us will have our mobile devices, others will have a notebook or folder with things to do or read, others willfidget(坐立不安).Being still isn’t something we’re used to.
Take a moment to think about how you spend your days — at work, after work, getting ready for work, evenings and weekends. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering messages, checking on the news and the latest stream of information? Are you always trying to Get Lots of Things Done, ticking off tasks from your list like a machine, rushing through your schedule?
