overworked and underthought

we as a society are overworked - we're work-aholics and we're not that afraid to admit it. everybody craves the busy lifestyle that demands that you go one place to another and just drift through. fill the time you have each day with one thing after another. fill the time in between that with tv, movies, and music. we wonder why we become like zombies - falling into the same routine day in and day out. THIS IS WHY. its scary how unfulfilling life has become for us - but putting that aside for a second or more .. we don't want to think because it takes too much time. its depressing sometimes, and most of the time we feel like we're never getting anywhere. thinking about everything going on in your life. 

when was the last time you actually sat to down to reflect? AH these freakin reflection times don't exist anymore BECAUSE we drown it out!! i drown it out with music. i let that think for me. i love it, and i dont necessarily think theres something wrong with it once in a while but WOW. we DEPEND on this stuff now to get us through the day. God forbid we think about someone we haven't talked to in a while and make an effort to get into touch. and whats more - what happened to our young ambition? has it really disappeared? are we really going to let work over take our lives? or are we gonna live? and for who?
