Life is moving pretty fast, and the rate of change is definitely faster than it was a few years back.
Especially now - when we have social media and a per second view of peoples' lives. Back in the day, before you knew if a cousin or a village fellow had graduated, or is doing well in the city, it had to be in December - when everyone cleaned up their acts and came home. But today, as it happens, the entire world now gets to know. And there is usually a lot of pressure on all of us to keep up.
I remember an incident that happened to me about a year ago. I thought I had missed my way, I was not sure if I had, but I was on the fast lane, and as a result I couldn’t just stop and ask anyone questions. I really wanted to slow down and ask questions, but I felt like the rest of the drivers on the road expected me to keep up with the pace (this was the Lagos-Ibadan express way by the way).
