"So Busy, but What For?"

"Because I could not stop for Death,

He kindly stopped for me;" (Dickinson)

I really liked this part of the poem because I think so many people get caught up in their own lives that they forget to slow down and notice everything around them. Whether you're a rich business man or someone living on the streets, no matter how busy you are, death is going to make time to visit us all. I once heard someone ask "We are all so busy with our lives, but where are we all rushing to?". I thought of that comment when I read this poem.
