With such busy lives, it is in ways no surprise that down time or solitude has become revered and something to be cherished. In particular, concepts such as “mindfulness” have become mainstream.
People even go on retreats to be one with themselves. But has it now not all gone too far. Like everybody will surely have enough time with themselves when they’re dead! They’ll have eternity to do absolutely nothing; guess there is a heaven for some people after all.
But that all being said, I guess everybody needs a few moments to themselves even me, I just don’t go on an expensive holiday to do so. No, I just go and sit on the toilet. It really is one of life’s great pleasures.
While there, you can dare I say contemplate the issues of the day, such as global warming. In this case you can even add to the global problem at the very same time. Oh, the simple pleasures.
If your in a civilized household you should be left in peace during this precious time, kind of like a holiday time. If not stand your ground and defend your territory.
Another thing that has been on my mind recently is this Women’s World Cup. Unfortunately, it appears men are not even the best at football anymore. Well, not as good as the American women anyway. No wonder the men don’t play it over there, they are too afraid.
I fully expect them to beat the Netherlands, just hope they are not in tears at the end like the Thai’s were.
Till next time and don’t forget to check some of my previous blog posts.
