Slow down, you move too fast...

Where will it all end? The times we are living in today are so entirely dominated by what I call "the tyranny of urgency", both in the financial field, where the transactions are made in a fraction of a second, and in the media, the realm of the ephemeral, or even the political scene, where the next election seems only the temporal horizon of public action. Our societies live in a kind of instantaneanism which prevents them from controlling the future. - Jerome Binde
