Where Are We Going?

As we are into 21st century, one commonplace question comes up; where are we heading, as a individual, family, neighborhood, city, or as a country?

It is rather broad question, which we can individually try to answer, or we can share our thoughts and come with a more general broad based response.

Very first issue that comes to my mind is the factor of time, or lack of it. We find ourselves, more and more busy, with less and less time to do just about anything meaningful, personally, or as a part of a family,or lager group. It is becoming an imperative that we manage our lives as per demand of our work by which we earn our living,which is rather important factor in our lives. But, I believe, it takes such a toll on our lives that our basic living functions are functions of our work, that is time we are required to spend working.

I personally can say that if I have to spend so much time working in order to support my family, then not being able to be with the same family for any meaningful stretch of time, then I ask myself; is this normal?

Where work should be function of life in general, where one can provide for family and not be required to be non-stop at work, and miss all the family activity, then I say, something is wrong here.

And the question is, what can we do to change this fact?

I believe it is worth our while to make it possible to stop this spiral of losing our bottom line bearing in life, we work so we can live, we don't live so we can work.
