A good number of people are always in mental hurry to finish any and every work in hand as early as possible, irrespective of whether the situation warrants for such a hurry or not. The work at hand can be as trivial as taking breakfast or as important as completing a crucial project, mental hurry is always present.

Mental hurry is different from the swiftness of action. Rather it makes the action clumsy and chaotic disabling the person from doing it rightly as well as from enjoying what he is doing. Hence mental hurry is nearer to restlessness.

If we are in mental hurry, we are not justifying what we are doing with our integrity. With mental hurry, we are dividing ourselves in two parts. The first is our unwilling action on the job in hand. The second part is our unconscious compulsion to do something else which is more involving than the the job in hand. Hence, the job in hand must, somehow, be finished as hurriedly as possible! Thus the mental hurry!!

Mental hurry plays games with us. It actually insults us and breaks us down in many incomplete parts. We are never fully with anything, anywhere, and anytime if we are a victim to mental hurry. We want to be somewhere but mental hurry holds us in its clutches so tightly that we are not even able to figure out and discover our unconscious compulsions to do something else, sometime else, and somewhere else.

Mental hurry reduces us to a mechanical puppet in the hands of the so called urgencies!
