What is this life if full of care, we do not have time to stand and stare?

This is the opening line of a famous poem i learned when i was in school.The next line goes to say " no time to stand beneath the boughs and stare as long as sheep and cows" ,so on and so forth. How true this is in our modern way of life. We are caught in a vicious circle and the rat race where we are all the time running to catch up with time.There is no leisure, only rush, rush,rush.We rush to our place of work, then we rush back home, then we rush to eat and then rush to sleep.We then get up early morning and once again the same routine cycle begins all over again. No time to relax. Even when we go on a holiday we don`t stay at one place but once again rush to sight-see and visit all the tourist spots and by the time it all ends the vacation is over and we are back to square one.What do you have to say about it, friends?
