All human unhappiness stems from one single thing,
the inability to sit quietly in a room and be at rest.
-Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

Slowness...
does not imply a lack of mental agility or a dull disposition.
It can mean that each of our actions is important,
and that no action should be hastily dismissed simply because we need to move on.

The attitude of slowness...
does not mean an inability to adapt to a fast pace.
Slowness is...
a firm resolve not to rush time or be swept away by its demands,
and it stems from a firm determination to cultivate the ability to remain mindful of ourselves while traversing the path of life,
as well as the capacity to embrace the world.

º..
Stroll leisurely...
Take some time for yourself and wander wherever your feet may lead.
Even in a bustling street, if you let go of tension and walk at a relaxed pace,
you might feel as if you're in a forest.
Although you're walking without any thoughts or purpose,
you'll find yourself delving deep into your own existence,
discovering who you are,
and even experiencing a subtle sense of happiness.
º..
Listen...
Most people prefer speaking to listening,
but it's also crucial to quietly lend an ear to the voices of others.
Giving someone your attention by listening to them is a way to forget about yourself.
When you refrain from rushing to respond and immerse yourself in another's story,
you gain much more, and your life becomes more mature.
º..
Be bored...
Boredom doesn't mean you're devoid of affection for anything; it's about cherishing the trivial aspects of everyday life.
Step back from all the things that confine you,
observe them with a relaxed mind,
and stretch out comfortably, enjoying a satisfying yawn.
However, boredom...
is meant to make us live a more dedicated life, so don't forget that it should always be exercised in moderation.
º..
Wait...
Embrace the mindset that a free and boundless future awaits you.
It takes time for your dreams to manifest in your life.
If you wait patiently with an open mind, your future will soon unfold before you.
º..
Cherish your home in your heart...
Recall the memories that have faded slightly in the depths of your heart.
The days of swimming naked in a stream,
the first day of elementary school with tears of unfamiliarity,
the dusty dirt road walked hand-in-hand with your friends...
In those past traces, we find peace of mind and an attachment to life.
º..
Write...
Let the truth within your heart come alive.
Gradually, try writing down the voice of your heart.
To get closer to your true self...
patience and humility are needed.
With a commitment to not embellish yourself,
listen to the truth deep within your heart.
