Why has a lack of time, and having too much work on our plates become the pervading theme of our age? The great irony is that in our race to save time, we have generated a whirlwind in which we are all entangled. We are so anxious to live for the future that we forget to live in the present.

It is a matter of re-evaluating our mindset. Modern western culture celebrates success, productivity and busyness. I made the magazine Carpe Diem as a quiet protest against this debilitating trend.
