Being Cold

I often wonder why people have to be so cold in the world. There is this air of self confidence and self sufficiency that baffles me. We were made to depend on each other and care for each other. Yet, there isn't that sense that anyone really needs anyone anymore. People are finding solace in watching TV, movies, video games, text messaging, cell phones and online entertainment. I long for the days when people needed each other and spent quality time with each other. We seem to be a society of instant this or that. If it doesn't happen fast enough for us, we just move on. Divorce rates are soaring and there isn't any communication between people any more. There is a state of being busy and lonely all at the same time. Noone wants to admit there is a deep seated need inside themselves for relationship with another person. Oh, there still exists the need for sex and that is most always equated to love. I think that relationships have become an obligation to one another as opposed to spending time getting to know that person. I think we have become too high powered and fast paced that we can't even keep up with ourselves anymore. A way to observe the world is to watch people in traffic. IT is when people slow down that they realize how lonely and in need of each other and relationship they really are. I think that is why people don't want to slow down because the merry go around keeps them in a state of ignorance. I live in a climate that is cold most of the time as far as weather is concerned. The funny thing is that the seasons may change, but the coldness in people still exists. I hope we can change that before we become permanently frozen.
