“What is this life if full of care. We have no time to stand and
stare…” these words
ring true in the present context, as we are so busy going about our
daily business of
life that we have hardly any time to reflect. Man has hardly any time
to think as to
where he’s headed in terms of having a ‘purpose’ or raison d’etre in life.
1. No one any more seems to bother or care as to why he or she really ‘lives’.
2. The urban lifestyle- full of targets to be achieved - keeps us
gainfully busy every
hour of the day.People have hardly any time for leisure activities.
3. The standard of living in a society is measured by the amount of
‘quality’ time a
person spends for leisure activities. Developed countries,
traditionally during their
growth phase had set a maddening pace, which left no time for enjoying their
personal life. This syndrome seems to have caught up in our society- in the
corporate field at least.
4. We seem to have ‘imported’ an alien work culture, which requires us to be
constantly on the move, whizzing past fellow beings and trying to
achieve that everelusive
target.
