Sometimes I sit and stare off into space; I don’t do it very often because like most people it is hard to stop, do nothing, and just be.
I have always been a believer in Zen and the Tao, that philosophy of being one and living in the now. But the world we live in doesn’t train us to just be, we must do, running here and there, playing working, living, earning. We have even started to lose the ability to dream.
When I listen to people talk, it’s about TV, jokes about popular shows, words and phrases those of characters. Absorbing others personality traits that came from some fictional character to begin with.
Where are the people that are real? Where are those who know how to sit and be? And why, when you do find then, are they considered boring because we don’t know how to relate outside the media.
