Dear Tena,
Salam (peace) upon your heart ... I agree with every word you say .. I also don't like the rush and all the bad things you mention in our present culture ..
Some times I think my PD was necessary for me ! a blessing in disguise which freed me (to some extent) from my slavery to mundane things and guilt..
It is my parachute to land easily to a better other world which is more to do with peace of the spirit.
( I am exaggerating -as usual- to make my point )
