A hasty train of thoughts…




Haste makes waste, they say. I wonder, if maybe, it’s just an excuse to be slow.
Surely, could it not be…

Like increasing the cost price and then offering a 30 % discount.
Like lowering the speed limit to 10 kmph and then punishing those who ride in second gear.
Like relative grading in academics.

You can’t afford to speed recklessly. That doesn’t mean one can’t question the speed limit.

There’s a world of difference between a long flat highway and a tortuous hill road, between a bicycle and a car on those roads, between a teenager and a baby-boomer riding a bike or a car on those roads. There must be several possible definitions of Haste.
Indeed, how does one define Waste?

Also, does all Haste cause Waste, or does all Waste come from Haste?

How then, can Haste, generally, make Waste?
