As we rush across to meet the deadlines and targets are we loosing on a lot of things?
I suppose we are.
We are loosing our own sensitivity knowingly/unknowingly. Sensitivity to a lot of small but invaluable things in life that would make an ocean of difference. Time with family , helping the child with his homework, a bed time story for the 4 year old, a lullaby for the toddler and god knows what all.
We send our babies to play schools as soon as they are six months, to pre-schools as soon as they are 2 years of age! Where are we heading to?
We don't know who our neighbors are. Often we don't even recognize them , for we have never seen them. If we have seen them , we refer to them by : man with the blue car, lady with springy hair, the black fat man, old lady who always sits in that balcony etc. But you see we are not to be blamed. We just don't have time. But don't we have even overseas friends in social networking sites? Don't we spend hours looking at the internet?
We happily move in to plush apartments of n floors , buy new cars, use umpteen number of electric appliances , throw our plastic wastes carelessly never paying any heed to the environment, the mother earth. Yes, probably we may not face the after effects but what happens to the future generation?
Do we care to think?
