I’m thinking about returning this blog back to its roots and including some shorter reflection pieces, and little tidbits I find interesting. What brings this on? To be 100% honest I’m not entirely sure. Its about 12:30AM here and I felt like writing.
Our generation is an interesting one, to say the least. We thrive on and consume everything in monstrous quantities. When is enough, enough? Where do we have to draw the line? At some point we will all wake up and see. See, what we have done to our physical and emotional health, our planet, our future generations.
I think it its this inability of ours to limit ourselves; that is not only our greatest strength, but also our greatest weakness. We are slowly losing the value of anything meaningful. Many of us have lost the value of a meaningful relationship. We have to schedule everything. We schedule that which must be scheduled (work, school, meetings, etc.) and that which should be spontaneous (family and friends).
We are overly simulated, it saddens me to see many of my friends have lost the value of a conversation. Think about it when was the last time you were shooting the breeze with some friends. Have we forgotten how to slow down? Are we missing the roses?
I plan to hopefully expand on this topic in a later post. For now I want to hear your thoughts.
