ON THE MOVE

THIS WORLD IS SO MUCH IN A RUSH THAT, AS IT PASSED ME BY, ALL I COULD HEAR WAS THE RUSTLING OF THE LEAVES, AND THEN..DEAD SILENCE! Is it about the people quickly passing by, without a thought of who is standing by or lying down on the hot sidewalk? Do people really think of each other, or are they just too selfish, only thinking about themselves , or a quick and easy way to make money? Do they have more than enough at home, or not enough which motivates them to be in this state…rushing? We cannot know that unless we can read their minds! If there is Insufficiency at home, then it is their duty to provide for their family, but at what cost? Should they ignore those who are worse off? I cannot answer! Have we also been abandoned by technology…by science? There used to be candles, wood fires and hand lamps to provide light….now, we have electricity, gas and even solar power to do that. From a simple sketch, now there are VHS TAPES, cds,,flash drives and computers…..don’t forget remote controlled equipment! From travelling from one place to another to see or talk to someone , we have video phones and other platforms to do that! So are we still going to stand there, motionless,,petrified as we are being passed? Why don’t we do something? Maybe we are too old, and our minds cannot grapple with the velocity of movement around us. Are we in the eye of the storm? Should we go to bed,,,, have a very long sleep, and then awake to reality….a very harsh reality that nothing was a dream? As we look around, there is no one in sight! Have we really been left behind,,,,,,,,,,,or are we way ahead of the competition? ?
