Its a big world out there but who are we fooling. Only a few of us realize that there is more to the world than what we are used to.
... We make our life a daily routine and blow small things out proportion so that they seem more important.
... We go to the same places, eat at the same restaurants, and see the same people. We always complain that everything is so 'routine' but we have difficulty admitting that we're afraid of new things.
... It's like we're inside a bubble we've created and thats the whole world to us. There are other places to go, other places to dine in, and other people to meet.
... When we feel suffocated we suddenly 'burst' out and do stupid things but when things calm down we find ourselves in unfamiliar territory and retreat back to our bubble.
... Its time we try to slowly expand our small world. Maybe blogging is one way to do that.
Rygel,
ReplyDeleteThis is such an excellent and observation and a good reminder to all of us.
i always admit to living in a bubble. and i'm too lazy and old to pop it. if living within the comforts of routine can kill, it could have killed me years ago.
ReplyDeletethe sad part is, i honestly don't see anything wrong with it most of the times :(
Growing up in NYC was like living in a bubble. I was amazed when I ventured outside even though it was the Army that made me do it. If it wasn't for the Army I would be New York Bob - not a pretty picture :(
