In this age of great speeds and global communication over the internet, we are all short on time...especially when it comes to genuine human feelings. It seems like very soon we are going to substitute love poems and romance with text messages...Something like ILU- which means Ï LOVE YOU- which once was presented with a serenade, or a nice piece of poetry...if you still remember those days, lol
But I honestly think- this is the main reason why we feel so inadequate and so alienated- from the world, from ourselves and from each other.
And the ONLY way for us to recover from this numbness, I believe, is by simply RECOGNISING it- as our Sages used to put it, "Wise question is half an answer".
In our case, this AWARENESS means simply trying to be alert to your very own FEELINGS-and so to the FEELINGS of others around you- just another way how we can make our life so much more meaningful, avoiding those shallow interactions ("how-are-you-great" type-of thing) and having real soul-conversations instead...
Disclaimer- Life may become much more dangerous and painful- but it certainly will become more meaningful and exciting!
