Speed : Many people repeat the phrase "this age is the age of speed." This phrase did not come from a vacuum, but from what people have sensed that their time goes on while they are unaware of it.

Overcoming the disadvantages of contemporary life
There are many serious drawbacks to contemporary life, although there are many advantages to it. Hence, one of the main reasons for enjoying a healthy life is overcoming the negatives. At the top of these negatives comes the materialism that has dominated the joints of human life and emptied its content. A person must adhere to the lofty spiritual values that value him, and which sweeps away the good that exists within him.
In addition, reviving the role of the family is the first and most important means to confront the dissolution of societies; the family is the nucleus of society, which is by its power, by the cohesion of its members, by societies and by the world. On the other hand, man has to restrain his desires, especially the lust for consumption, which makes him a slave to money, and to work; some people consume their health early in work for very long times, to collect goods they do not need.
