I was having this conversation with a friend last night. We got to a point when she was wondering how busy she was with her life, that she do not have the time to reflect on the things which are important to her. It got me to a point where I wonder that why many people love to be busy. They might not realise it, but to me many people prefer being busy than free from responsibilities.
Maybe we’re simply being addicted to being busy. After all, the busier we look, the more we are valued. We often compare the amount of emails you have, or the amount of calls we have, or the social outings we have. This mania makes us feel important. But it also makes us feel over-strectched, desperate, superficial and angry.
With the rise in technology, our lives are getting faster and faster. Somewhere along those lines, we have confused overwork with self-worth. And I wonder what we are gaining as individuals and society as a whole.
We all have choices in life, but instead we feel better when we are put in a trap of being busy. Our society thrives on being busy because that is what our self worth come from. “Not noticing” what is driving our life (that part of us which wants to be a part of society)- leads to a situation where we live as though we had no real choices.
But, is it true ?
How are you choosing to live your life ? How do you value your own life ? What do you use to value the success you want from your life ?
What are we busy for ? What are we going after ?
I would want to share my opinion about how to create the life we all deserve in the next few days.
thank you
