Finally, after an hour sitting at the table, he has finished dinner (dinner is over, yes… says Jaime). There is no hurry.
We work, move, have fun, we do everything quickly, and sometimes it's okay, but not always, all things need and have their time. We are surrounded by speed, it drags us along and we are infected by it, we want everything now, we demand it, it seems that we have lost the ability to wait.
We live obsessed with the idea that time is money, but time is actually life, something much more valuable, which surpasses us and passes inexorably. And so, we become anxious or abandon ourselves, but reality is not explained or exhausted by extreme positions.
It's nine o'clock and it's late. Come on, Jaime!... wait a minute, not so fast, he says, he heard it in a movie and uses it at the right moment. Time is different with him.
