A toi
It is so easy to get caught up in speedy whirl of today's world. Being a workaholic is a new trend: it is a way of life and a state of mind. I am worthless and lazy if I am not working every second of my day. I am successful and established if I am working hard every second of my day. But am I? Does my superior performance at a job determine my personal happiness? Does my material wealth help me to unveil the nature my mind or am I still just as lost as everyone else on this quest? And if I am lost, then what is the point of being here on the first place? This sense of meaninglessness does not come from our lives, but from the quality of awareness with which we live our lives. By living up to the ideals of the today's society and pushing myself to extremes, I create an external illusion of perfection in my life. If I never stop and become aware of my true self, I will always see the secondary image of myself, a distorted truth.
