The speed of light is not fast. It's really, really slow! That is, slow relative to the size of the universe and the timespan of the universe, relative to human scales of size and timespan.
Humans can travel around the world (our domain) in a matter of hours (on rockets, our fastest mode of travel thus far). Similarly, the fastest waves can cross the ocean in a matter of hours. Light, on the other hand, takes billions of years to cross the visible universe. It's downright glacial at those scales!
