Unplugged

I’m not talking about the current performance of Globelines Broadband internet connection that has already been going on for several weeks now after the Taiwan quake, although let me add one point on that matter. . . It sucks!
        But just think, in a world where we are the first overcommunicated society, we fail to communicate; more is said, but less is understood. Our means of reaching people has become faster, yet there is no progress in unity.
        Communication is the single, most common, most universal reason people give to their problems. Business problems, government problems, marriage problems. But the problem is communication itself.
        I wonder if we unplug ourselves from society, government, religion, from everything, do we start to connect with our inner selves? It is society that shapes us. It is the government that makes rules how we are being shaped. And isn’t it because of religion there is war? If we forget how to talk, will we learn to listen? Then, we should start to listen to ourselves first, hear our inner voice and not other people’s thoughts about who we are expected or not expected to be. Everybody wants to be somebody, but nobody wants to be themselves. Allow me to unplug and reconnect.

Peace.
