Are you crazy or is it the world?
Good question isn't it? And one I am sure you have asked yourself before? I guess everyone who is waking up to reality does... because it's a good question. Especially since it really does seem as if the world has gone mad. The pace, the amount of input, the constant noise, the incessant movement. It's like wow - what's going on! Has everybody lost their minds?
Do we really need to constantly add more stuff to our lives and keep filling our minds with more and more information to find happiness? Do we really need all this noise and activity? Do we really need to go so many places, see so many movies, listen to so many songs, buy so much stuff....???? We all know the answer is NO!!! NO!!! And more NOOOOOOO!
The pendulum swings back and forth and now it seems to have reached the busy busy busy extreme so it's time for it to swing back towards silence, peace, and quiet... or else the world will explode (maybe it will)...
So the answer is NO - if you feel discomfort in the world and just want a little peace and quiet. You are not crazy! The world is....
Enjoy the peace of this day.
I find peace in knowing that no matter how crazy/difficult/challenging things might get...everything is going to be "ok."
My parents and godfather used to say, "don't sweat the small stuff." And ultimately, it's all small stuff. So why worry? Instead, focus on living and enjoying the journey because that's what's important, the journey.
