Slowness is not idleness which is inactivity also known as slothfulness. Therefore, here are the benefits of slowness:

1- Thinking: it is mainly an individual and lonely activity, evolving with time. To think deeply about existential matters needs time.

2- Creativity: there are days where creativity is absent. But to be inspired requires a constant awakening of the mind, which means less running and more contemplating.

3- Freedom: which is solely a faculty of the mind and it comes with time

4- Spirituality: I haven’t heard of any type of spirituality that promotes speed to reach enlightment

5- Silence and stillness: they are fuel to the mind and the body

In a world of speed, slowness is so old-fashioned. However, were we meant to be fast? Aren’t diseases are multiplying? Isn’t confusion the keyword?
