Are we losing it?

I hope the title to the blog entry made you wonder...what the hell is this about?!

Are we losing it......what?? Duh!

But since I have already managed to hold your thought, let me ask you..... are we losing it?

Yes, I think we are losing it...and this it has varied meanings for different individuals...

Let us jot down a few probable 'it' definitions:

1. Zest for Life
2. Time for loved ones
3. Satisfaction in our achievements
4. Empathy towards others
5. Sympathy for the sufferers
6. Happiness for our peers
7. Humility towards our seniors
8. Zest for trying new food or culture
9. Taking up exercise as a hobby
   

I think the list can go on and on and on and on and on and on.....I mean, how more literally can this list go on? Maybe it would never stop!?

So when was the last time we:

1. Decided to do something new by taking out time from our 'so busy' schedule
2. Decided to pack up early from work and taken an early train / bus than the 'usual' to spend more time with family.
3. Take a back seat and feel grateful to the almighty for what he has bestowed on us.
4. We saw someone not as 'good' as us, but instead of putting them down told them that they had what is takes to be good enough.
   
5. Gaze at the world, see what people are suffering through and feel sympathy towards them
6. Felt happy for the joys of our peers rather than alleging foul play or foul means or pure luck factor
7. Agreed that when we are corrected by our senior, we do have shortcomings which may need to attend to.
8. Agreed that food is more important than the conversations we have over it or the entertainment we subject ourselves to while eating
9. Agreed that without exercising we wont even reach half of the age of the generation before us.
   

This too is an illustrative list of things which we may have stopped doing... and this list too can go on and on and on and on....

So what is this whole post about? I have made certain realizations which I would like to act on. Now it could be your turn?

If the above situations and examples have made you realize that for you too a certain aspect of life has been lost or has taken a backseat and it needs to be revived, then this post has been successful.

If you thought this post was a useless waste of time, well then my friend... arguments between you and me will go on and on and on and on and on .... ;)
