I don't think so. There are times when being in the wilderness is alright. We can't always be on. Sometimes, its enough to have simple, small things to do, gestures to make, which allow the spiritual energy to flow. The helter-skelter life we lead is often not so much an attempt to be productive and successful as it is a way to avoid dealing with sadness.
Speed is sometimes just an antidote for sorrow and grief, sadness and loneliness.
The more depressed we are the faster we go. I woke the other morning to a radio piece on young millionaires. It turns out that at least some young people got very rich on dot com stock options and had the sense to cash out before the recent collapse. The reporter interviewed several people in their late twenties and early thirties who had made millions with America Online and were now retired. All those interviewed were not working but none of them had what I would call a meaningful life.
