1. Our Schedules Our Selves
-Jay Walljasper
In this essay, the writer advocates for the free use of
time. He hates the idea of schedule life and recommends
for the magical spontaneousmoments that provide the real
bliss of life. As soon as a person breaks up his schedule, he
gets freedom and he is able to achieve unimaginative
happiness.
Due to the so-called modernity, the life of the people
has been burdened with hectic factors like work and
routine. As a result, a modern man has become the slave of
time. Obviously, the time is limited but the person has to
do unlimited works. From morning to evening, the person
is busy in following his schedule and tired up his work. It
is very rare that a person gets time. As a result a person is
deprived of the real pleasure that his life offers to him.
“We are bigger than our schedules”said Paulo and he
was absolutely right. We are not born for being slave of
time. In the name of the following the pace of time, we are
trying to fly with it and consequently we have been
enslaved.
The writer suggests the peoplenotto work overtime as
well as not to have over desire. The so called options
always draga person to slavery. Therefore, a person should
put some time for the unprepared schedules that he could
feel the real bliss of life.

2. The writer doesn’t mean that we should not do our
routine work but his anger is towards the over hectic life
due to the so-called material prosperity. Moreover, he
intendsto make thepeopleaware that unplanned schedules
empower a person or reutilize him immediately. So it is
necessary to break up the schedules time and again.
