in a hurry to nowhere
We always seem to be in a hurry to get there often with absolutely no idea where there is! In the hustle and bustle of life and work, we may find ourselves under pressure to hurry or we’ll be left out or behind, so we run.
it’s not human to engage in an activity without a goal, so maybe i could safely assume that though we run not to a destination, we perhaps run in competition, with ourselves, our peers, or with someone we know absolutely nothing about but interpret as being just in a better place than us or a place we ought to be in… we run because we have come to believe that if we walk, we’ll not survive… we’ll die.
It appears a lot of the world is living in this pseudo-dimension or conceptual world which we now spend all our time and energy trying to protect from the invasion of concrete realities. we fight this invasion by increasing complexity…we run. Maybe we run because we are scared, because if we ever stop we’ll have to confront that ever present nagging in the back of our minds that in reality, there’s nothing there but emptiness, words whose meaning are merely in other words…
So i guess we just keep on running… or do we?
