Respite

My traffic has suddenly exploded here and yet nothing will change. I want to explore ideas and think about the human condition in all its aspects. As our own worst enemies we tend to look for ways to escape discomfort without which there is no growth.

In many ways our lives appear nonsensical if there is nothing which comes afterwards; no continuation of our learning curve. Because learning to live sometimes takes a lifetime, we appear to waste so much energy on meaningless pursuits which add nothing to our knowledge.

We want internal calm and to feel safe but we are hard pressed to attain that in a world that seems antithetical to these goals and sometimes we join the choir knowing that it will bring us nothing more than a respite from being singled out as the outcast.
