Too Busy to Notice

Of late I've found myself annoyed by how busy my friends seem. Putting aside the possibility that they are avoiding me, some are always on-the-go that they barely have time to tell me they do not have time to talk. Every phone call, no matter how short, seems to be interrupted by several others.

I consider my life to be somewhat filled and fulfilling. I have a husband and two children, work part time, exercise several times a week (well, usually) and socialize regularly. I also have time to read novels, catch a movie or play once in a while and have the occasional long lunch with a friend ( should I be embarrasses admitting this?)

In our busy, busy world, however, I sometimes feel as if I am the odd one out. Although those who are overworked and overwhelmed complain ceaselessly, often sounding boastful! I have realized that “busyness” differs from person to person. Every person has a different threshold. One of my friends finds one social engagement too much, whereas others love to party, party and party! Some may even trade in a little stress in stead of boredom, if they were doing something they enjoyed!

I know there are people who need to work for a living, who must work long hours in order to survive. But I am talking about those who love the self-imposed frenetic pace! I see it as unnecessary, but that’s my personal opinion.

Frankly, if you ask me, too many people today are too busy to even notice that they are busy. By the time they realize, life has invariably passed them by. So, isn’t it important to wake up to what exactly we are busy with? In stead of racing through life, going no where, shouldn’t we start investing in relationships, things we love to do and find time for the people we love to meet?

Hi ariana, I am amother of two daughters and i am very very sad to hear you. I want to help. but are you a venezualan. is it possible that you can come to india , to mumbai. at this moment all i can say is that to build your self from within. make your self strong , so strong from within that you get the strnght to fight the outside world. and this is possible only by going into silence. there is a technique of how to go into silence thru deep meditation.you can do this in mumbai.as ther is this course called the Siddha samadhi Yoga (SSY) that will teach you meditation, pranayam and going into silence. so if it is possible come to mubai. and you are not alone in this world. all i can say is that i am there for you. i am a total stranger. but a woman and i understand. Take care.lots of love rashmi

Ariana: They cannot destroy your soul any more than it has already been. You could consider going to a local church or convent, where you can be sure the superiors there would be more considerate; they might not give you a solution on a platter, but they will help you feel relieved in your heart, for just being able to talk and cry the tears out. Dont, Dont keep all this bottled up. You must be able to talk to somebody, maybe the dormitory mistress of a women's institution. havent you a Welfare Centre of sorts? Keep the Faith, Ariana, but dont take this any more..
