APATHY

LIFE FOR MANY PEOPLE IS ONE OF CONSTANT STRUGGLE.IT CAN BE AS SIMPLE AS A STRUGGLE FOR TIME OR AS COMPLEX AS STRUGGLING FOR SURVIVAL PLEASE I DO UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU ARE IN SURVIVAL MODE THEN DOING EVERYTHING YOU CAN DAILY TO KEEP SURVIVING IS THE ONLY FOCUS YOU CAN HAVE; MY CONCERN IS FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO ARE SIMPLY TOO BUSY. TOO BUSY TO TAKE A BREATHE AND APPRECIATE THE DAY, TOO BUSY TO HAVE FUN, TOO BUSY WORKING WHEN THEY HAVE OTHER RESPONSIBLITIES LIKE CHILDREN THAT NEED TIME SPENT WITH THEM. OR SIMPLY TOO BUSY BEING BUSY BECAUSE THEY HAVE BOUGHT INTO A CONCEPT THAT THEIR WORLD WOULD FALL APART IF THEY STOPPED FOR AWHILE. I AM REALLY FED UP WITH THIS CONSTANT NEED PEOPLE HAVE OF BEING PLUGGED IN 24/7. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME WHEN I WAS OUT THAT SOMEONE ARROUND ME WASN'T ON A CELL OR LAPTOP. ARE WE AFRAID OF BEING ALONE? OF JUST SITTING IN STILLNESS AND QUIET? ARE WE AFRAID OF GIVING SOMETHING OF OURSELVES TO OTHERS? I JUST WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN BETWEEN BEING BUSY AND BEING PLUGGED IN WHEN DO THEY JUST BE! WE SEEM TO BE ON A PATH OF AVOIDANCE; BECAUSE WHEN ONE IS SO BUSY THEN WE ARE NOT ENGAGED EITHER IN OUR LIVES OR IN THE WORLD AT LARGE. OUR FOCUS IS SO NARROW THAT WE BECOME UNAWARE OF ANY THING ELSE....DANGER,DANGER WILL ROBINSON....IF WE CONTINUE TO LIVE LIKE THIS WITH OUR ATTENTIONS SO NARROWED AND TOO BUSY TO BE CONCERNED AND NO ENERGY TO ATTATCH, WELL TO ME THAT WILL LEAD TO A WORLD THAT HAS NO REAL SOUL. WHAT A SAD PLACE THAT WOULD BE TO LIVE IN! WE ALL NEED TO BECOME REATTATCHED TO OUR LIVES AND OUR PLANET...LOOK UP FROM YOUR CELL'S AND COMPUTERS, MAKE TIME FOR YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, HAVE FUN, LAUGH, PLAY. LOVE YOURSELF WITH PASSION AND SHARE THAT PASSION....NOW THAT IS A PLANET TO LIVE ON!
