Napoleon once said to his assistant: "Dress me slowly because I am in a hurry". The cares, worries, occupations and projects, tend to incline life towards them. Such is their enslaving and limiting condition, that they even try not to give time to illness, they make the mind aware of being a companion of affliction and the body, to be at enmity with rest and health. And what shall we say of the spirit? They neutralize its natural desire to be strong in eternal conceptions, by means of a carnal and materialistic environment; accustoming it to empty and banal knowledge.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 NKJV

1 To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to gain, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away;
7 A time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Mark 4:18-19 NKJV

18 Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, 19 and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
