A lot of my reading this week has been about connecting with people, as I mentioned in my previous post. I also agree that it is essential for human beings to interact with other human beings.
However, the problem becomes how and where to interact with other human beings when the economy is so bad. Unless your family and friends live next door, it takes gas and thus money to spent time with people. For many this isn't a luxury one can afford.
I am not sure what the solution is. I struggle with it every evening and weekend that I am free. In fact I was going to stretch my budget to attend an activity, but now my car is on the fritz.
Here are some thoughts I read this morning and am considering in regards to my dilemma:
I work on my problems, and then I release them.
Anything that bothers you is only a problem within. Only you can experience it, and only you can correct it. -Wayne Dyer
Written at the dwelling of a recluse
Even though you have a brushwood door,
It hasn't been shut for a long time;
A few clouds, a few trees
Have been your only companions.
Still I suspect if you stay longer,
People will learn of this spot
We'll see you moving
Higher on the mountain.
- Chia Tao (779-843)
