'U'ber mich

My photo
The Hanging Soul... wandering about life...I float in dreams and my visions fly, up to the questions that pass my mind...i look at life and wonder why...no one sees the love, the beauty, the glory, the enigma, the mystery of this time

the age of self

Okay, sounds a little dramatic...but in several ways...we are living in the age of self.

Point in case: I just created my own group on facebook called Vidushi's Poetry...and i'm not even close to the starters. People have groups on their ideologies, photography, work, blogs, pictures, and even just 'we love so and so' groups.

It makes me think about how much of this stems from the fact that none of us actually have the time or patience for or even memory of the interests of our own close friends. Do we need it plastered across a profile that our friend was recently out for a camping trip and took wonderful photos. Have we come to the point where we have so many people that we no longer have people close to us?? I know that no one has walked up to me in a very long time and asked me if i've written anything new... It is assumed that if I do...it will be up somewhere online and notifications will be sent to all proclaiming a feat!!

Having said that....I must add, that if this is the sort of world we are coming to....where too many people have too little time for each other...this may be the only saviour we have

And we may as well be jumping into creating more effective intra-personal communication....rather than these one sided blogs that never receive any comments!!
