Rule of Quantity

Faster, bigger and more efficient have never been easier to measure and anything that can be awarded a number, rank or score often is. This is rarely out of necessity, or with a strategic end in sight, but more commonly because "it's possible". Humans are more often judged by a number, a numbers game that now permeates throughout business, medicine, physical exercise and even the quantity of friends.

Each time we move fast enough to miss desired time with our loved ones we have an opportunity to absorb this lesson of natural balance: everything can not be more at the same time.
