It's time to listen.

Everybody is so busy with their lives. No one seems to make sacrifices for another anymore. I was always taught that sometimes you have to do things that you don't particularly want to do or like, for someone else. Because it makes them happy, or because then the outcome for a group would be better.


I think it's a large part of the problems we see in the world today. The fact that there's no sense of family or community anymore. That everyone is in it for their own gain. So much emphasis is placed on what we possess. Our lives are filled with noise and things. Everything seems rushed.

There's no time to reflect, to get to know another. Most people don't even take the time to get to know themselves. And what we don't know we fear. What we fear, we want to destroy, even if it is ourselves. So this fear creates violence, addiction, destruction etc.

Isn't it about time we start to listen? Listen to our inner voices, listen to others? And to stop living in fear?

It seems as if we are becoming more alienated from each other through our fear. We've created these barriers and invisible walls. Isnt it ironic that even with things being more accesible, we've actually become more isolated and withdrawn.
