Bubbles

Jump to Comments

I walked past a couple of people on my way home today, and all of them, except for one older person, reacted the same way; they moved to the side of the side walk and just barely responded when I said hi and smiled. Like them, most of us want to live in our bubbles, we want to live inside the lives we have set up for ourselves, we want to keep our relationships to the people we select, in the end it is all about control. We want to control our lives, control, production and power, that is our holy trinity, and when we lose control, we don’t like it, a lot of violence is the result of losing control. We don’t want to leave our personal bubbles and strike up real relationships with people on the street, in reality we can’t afford to, there are far too many people in the world and on the streets. But our bubbles are also safe and comfortable, we have built them the way we want to, I find it hard to leave my bubble, it is not easy. However, there is one thing that we can be sure of, the future does not rest inside our bubbles, it lies in a world where our relationships are broad and many, and connect with the people around us.
