A human being needs a dream so he can withstand reality; having no dream in this cruel world makes one prone to collapsing and making it harder for him to get back up. The younger generations that are coming forget how to dream...or more accurate would be that we forget to tell them how to dream. We're in a constantly going vicious cycle that makes us forget our dreams and how to pass that ability to the young.
I took a couple of days off from the daily routine and decided to just go around and wander, meet new people, change a bit the scenery. I knew we were living in a fast going world, but I didn't know it was this bad. All I could see was just people being in a hurry to get to work but not seeing that they bumped into a little girl that fell over and started crying; people being too busy arguing over the phone and ignoring their crying child, eventually screaming at him because the mother couldn't hear the other person on the phone that she was arguing with; a mom forgetting her boy in the crowded bus because she forgot to take his hand while she was too busy playing Candy Crush. Busy people everywhere...in a hurry, sleepy, grumpy, constantly on their phone, pressured by the society....forgetting who they really are and what they're living for.
A day in the life of a modern adult is so dull and superficial that I wonder how they can make it through the week. Nothing new, it's the same thing every single day. We are coming to a point in that we don't live our lives just for us to be us, but we live it in order to be like other people because our weak selves are afraid of being unique and different..we feel the need to surpass the one that is front of us, better than us.
How long has it been since you last stopped from your daily activities and gave a random person a hug ? How long has it been since you've last complimented a person, read a good book, took your family out, went for a long walk, had some time with yourself ? How long has it been since you stopped and looked at your parents that are getting older day by day? We are in such a hurry to grow up that we forget we once were kids and had a dream that got lost in the process of being a successful adult...so we've lost ourselves.
Our life is too short to be lived in a superficial way, for others and dictated by society. The day of tomorrow is not granted, so why miss the opportunity of doing something we like today. Change your environment, do something you'd like to do; don't hurry, but be patient and enjoy life.
