As human beings we are capable of experience and entire spectrum of feelings. Often the extreme ends of this spectrum (happpiness/sadness) seem to be more vivid than the others. Regardless, as people we do not dwell properly in solitude. However exceptions have existed and continue to, this day.
The world is becoming a more and more diverse place, as human population grows, people must learn to live together. And in many ways mankind has learned to do that. Professionals have become specialized in performing certain tasks. And only through working together can the complex machines of tommorrow become a reality.
Through the specification of subjects that were once broad has resulted in tipping the scale. When an athlete trains over 3 hours a day, he/she becomes overtrained and becomes lesser as a result of it. When an astronomer stares at magnified images of stars his/her body becomes malformed, and spasms of the eye occur as retinal muscles are damaged. Its happened, I've seen it. Whether one exhibits excessive pondering, or gossiping, or table smashing, etc. Balance is key to creating a shell of joy outside of a zen inner being.
In the end it is a balance that must be sought and never forgotten. To maintain optimal functionality, a broader mind can create a greater being... As we must tap into the uncharted limits of the human mind.
So this was for all the hard working readers, who put in dozens of hours towards their tasks in order to keep the cogs rotating and the gears functioning of the device entitled "human progress." |
