Have you ever felt like there's more? I mean we wake up, go to work, come home...we date, fall in love, get married, have kids...but is there more? Don't get me wrong, some of the above is fabulous and all, but is that it? Is the purpose of it all to find our individual picket fenced houses and nest in them?
Everyday we become consumed with work, the "to do's", car payments, bills...bills...bills, drinking, TV, the newest Xbox or Halo, and what or who Britney Spears is doing now. These distractions are fed to us and we feed to ourselves to keep us kept but don't you ever want to TURN IT ALL OFF?... And if you attempted to do so what else would there be?
I've read and heard about the lives and customs of those from our past, of Natives and tribes, of Monks, etc and I'm seriously wondering how do we watch and learn about such amazing people and habits and such just wise simplicity,about how these people or those people did such amazing things with their minds/with their lives in general and we change the channel or grab a beer and continue on our merry ignorant ways as if nothing. Under a close watch I think we can seriously admit that at least 40% of what we say or do throughout our day stems from fear and/or ignorance.
Don't you ever wake up to go to work for the millionth time and think to yourself, "DAMN there's gotta be more to life than this!!" So, what is that more and why do we not spend more of our time focused on finding or experiencing it?
A monotonous life, in my opinion, is a sad life to lead and a complacent mind is a devastating waste.
Always ask questions...........Is there more to life then just this?
