The Busy Life

His description of the slow life in the Dominican Republican reminds me of the long hazy summer days I spent in Bangladesh, and the strong focus my relatives would give me. Despite not living in New York, or even "the city", I can relate to the self centeredness that forces you to live a life in tolerance. In Bangladesh, my days were filled socializing with relatives, from evening tea to the weekly wedding occasion. Over here, I lose track of the days, things go by way too fast. While I have as a result of this life become inexperienced in creating intimate relations, it has given me a different perspective on life as to what it is that will help me out in the long run. To come to understand others, and be less judgmental, you must stop making assumptions and expectations, and focus on the life that you yourself are creating.
TL;DR: Living life the fast way opens your eyes up to what truly matters.
