Over the hills and far away
I think I am mighty tired of the technology which is creeping into my life and destroying my peace of late! I know people say it all the time.. What is the world coming to these days and yada yada yada.. but I think it's getting more and more difficult to live as time goes on. And, I also think this is because there is so much progress on every level, met with the same level of possible imposing crap which threatens progress and acts as a deterrent to stability. Makes sense yeah.
It all comes down to. How do I use technology (gmail, facebook, twitter, youtube) for all the essentials yet not be so freaking dependent on it, so much so that I can't live without it! To not allow myself to let it control me? I know! but sometimes it's almost feels impossible. You need it to keep in touch, for music, entertainment, for making plans! Yet people managed fine without it and were happier probably (but sure they had other problems then) without it.
hmm! I know one way- to stay away and keep staying away as much as possible.
I'm craving a bit of a slow-down and some fresh green grass. And the sight of it, and the touch of it and the smell of it. I know this is what pushes people to backpack across the Himalayas(on a shoe string budget) in search of it. Very few of us have the courage and conviction to do what the heart desires. I try. First step - search for small ways of getting closer to what you want. And bathe in the joy of them.
This probably sounds romantic and harder than the words I typed, but its the exact title of my post - It's where I want to get to. And how!
