Too much pressure!!! Too much pressure!!!

Don't you think we all hurry too much?

It's like we have to have everything now, or even better - have it yesterday!
When I browse internet I have got at least three tabs open at a time, while waiting for one to load -0 I read the other, so I don't waste my time. I can fit more and more brain activities in my day, slowly abandoning any healthy options, like a walk around the town or sitting on a bench with vanilla ice cream...

I must start taking things one step at a time.
Do one thing, finish it off, pause and then start the new one.
Stop moving my legs nervously under the table while doing something, trying unconsciously run away from it...
Stop being impatient and feeding my brain with crap!

Is it possible?
Do I have to live in a cave to be able to do this?

It seems like most people live to earn, spend and be miserable.
We find our way to make sure we fill every inch of our life with rubbish, to make sure there are no blank spaces left behind.
We think if we fill everything with material goods, our lives will have more meaning.

What is happening to us?

I am sitting here in my chair, in front of the computer and I don't feel like doing anything.
I am tired, angry at god knows what and my legs hurt (I am like an old person with arthritic pain in my joints - crap!).

I have finished reading unread books and magazines and have got nothing to do...

I have started reading "The Witch of Portobello" by Paulo Coehlo some time ago and I am now 2/3 way through.
I must say I am happy reading Coehlo's books - somehow I didn't want to read them when I was a teenager, seeing everyone around me doing so - it would have take me out of my "underground" shelf I sat at (silly, I know - but ten years ago I didn't want to touch anything that was too... mainstream )

I started with "Eleven Minutes", which I borrowed from my friend, and it struck me - I missed on so many books, that I would have probably loved.
When Coehlo writes - it's always simple, but it is also very true.
I would even risk saying that he has got a very feminine mind... he sees things so similar to me, it's unbelievable...

Anyways - I have been a lazy cow this weekend. Doing mostly nothing (except of washing the dishes!) but sitting in front of my pc, or reading books.
Tomorrow I must go back to work - the idea is very unpleasant, as recently I keep getting shitty things to do and I was not allowed change of hours (which is another story...).

And now I shall get back to my book.

There will soon be a society of Martix souls, not able to connect with another person on any kind of level.
we will all eat, sleep, and have social lives online.
(I must admit that is very much me - as it's so much easier, you don't have to look nice, you don't have to be slim, fit and cool and dandy. You don't have to leave home, and noone cares who you are in the real life... Ok - most people don't, but it's not many of them left there...)

We lost ourselves and our ability to be somehow emphatic. We are not able to support our friends in pain, unless we can translate it to our own past.

Where are we heading to?
