As we approach a new year, it's a good time to reflect on time itself. In the movie Click, the main character gets hold of a remote control that can let him fast forward or skip unpleasant times. In certain situations, we've all had an urge to fast forward past a moment. In fact, for many this is a very frequent desire. One may want to rush through his work to get home. Then he gets home only to want to rush through helping his child with homework. This desire to fast forward is embodied by a sense of being a little (or a lot) on edge. These are times of unease and irritation.
It is useful to put that desire to fast forward under the microscope. If one takes an honest and careful look he sees that this sense of uneasiness is not just dependent on what you are doing. Rather it has more to do with your state of being. In essence, the desire to try to fast forward our lives creates this feeling of unease. In contrast one can act efficiently and quickly, but with a sense of ease.
