I found this fascinating quote today:
Urgency is an emotion. The online MacMillan dictionary defines it as “the feeling of wanting something very much or wanting it immediately”. It can also be called as a pressure of necessity. But, is it usually a necessity? Urgency in most cases is externally driven and is a state of mind created by demands, pressures, timelines, etc. I am not saying that there is nothing called as urgent or that it is a mirage. When one is choking or someone is experiencing a heart attack, there can be no mistake, remedial measures are urgently required.
However, in most cases, the urgency one experiences or sees another person going through is externally induced and can definitely be handled more effectively if one weren’t responding blindly or in haste.
Importance on the other hand is an underlying fact. Usually it is long term and requires much thought and lot of effort to accomplish an important task or achievement. An obvious example is one’s health. We all know it is important and the bedrock of almost everything we do in life. Yet, the urgency of several external factors tends to make us neglect and ignore this important thing till it becomes a problem and turns into being urgent as well as important.
This brings me to the third dimension, urgent and important. Some things are such and usually require priority attention. Unfortunately most of us are never taught to understand this concept and apply appropriate responses. Therefore, our responses are usually prioritized based on external stimuli and therefore urgent things usually take front seat while some important things tend to get ignored till they either lose their relevance or become urgent and important.

Found an interesting thought provoking article on The Hindu newspaper about ahimsa way of life, Setting limits on love ;
some of the interest quotes mentioned in the article;
“That I am not truly free, if I am taking away someone else’s freedom, just as I am not free if my freedom is taken away from me.” – Nelson Mandela
“Let there be spaces in your togetherness,/And let the winds of the heavens dance between you./Love one another, but make not a bond of love:/Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls…/Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.” – Khalil Gibran
