Running Looks Why Not

More From Terry Pratchett

No one paid any attention to how things looked, and as they moved faster and faster everything grew uglier and dirtier, and as everything grew uglier and dirtier they moved faster and faster, and at last a very strange thing began to happen. because nobody cared, the city slowly began to disappear. day by day the buildings grew fainter and fainter, and the streets faded away, until at last it was entirely invisible. there was nothing to see at all.
Cities Attention Lasts
If someone asks you to run the 100 yard dash as fast as you can, you'll run the 100 dash as fast as you think you can. but if you put someone along side you who runs a little faster, you are going to run faster - whoa - i better step it up a little bit. i do things even i didn't know i was capable of.
Running Thinking Yards
Changing things is not easy, and i say this without any irony. it is not that someone does not want to, but because it is a hard thing to do. take obama, a forward-thinking man, a liberal, a democrat. did he not pledge to shut down guantanamo before his election? but did he do it? no, he did not. and may i ask why not? did he not want to do it? he wanted to, i am sure he did, but it did not work out. he sincerely wanted to do it, but did not succeed, since it turned out to be very complicated.

Running Real Silly
I have no opposition at all to technology. i think technology is a wonderful thing that has to be used thoughtfully, and we can't just assume that every bit of new technology improvesthe quality of life; it's really in how the technology is used. what i am very disturbed about is this trend of everything happening faster and faster and faster and there being more and more general noise in the world, and less and less time for quiet reflection on who we are, and where we're going.
Technology Thinking Reflection
When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. they put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's to late.
