I often contemplate why people are they way they are. Obsessed with their cell phones, glued to their tv's, having the most recent cars that just came out. Stuck on material things that mean nothing.

And I came to realize that people are lacking so much to their lives. True meanings that are right in front of them yet they cannot see it. Every day, from day to day, children are spending hours enclosed in 4 walls at school then go home and do the same thing. Tv, games, tablets is now their escape.
Time flying by without remembering what happened the day before. Technology has such a strong hold on us, keeping us from connecting to the very people we live with, making it harder for people to live life to the fullest, keeping the curtains closed.
If we remove all these things in our lives, we wouldn't know what to do with ourselves. But with time that would open so many doors and we could really connect with one another. Being able to open those curtains and actually see the world. Even if it may just be our backyard. But that's where we start.
Seeing the world being as beautiful as it is, we can then see how everything is so strong and yet so fragile.
Your post is very deep and has hit me hard with some personal things that is hard for me to deal with. Yet I thank you for this. It is very important for people to see this and understand it as well. Thank you my friend <3
