Yup, slow is fast and fast is slow: if you don't calmly evaluate your own thoughts about anything, but instead jump to conclusions without reflecting, you are bound to run into detours.
But either way, it's OK. Time is just the Eternal Now anyway, and Past, Present and Future are all happening at the same time. But our previous decisions about what is true of the world around us have brought us to a situation where a lot of what we considered to be real is actually something else entirely.
