Lately, the happenings around the globe are getting to people and the pressure is beginning to show. A study claims that more people are talking to themselves nowadays than a decade back.
What do you think are the reasons for people wanting to talk to themselves?
Did you say global warming?
Could be. I guess the melting glaciers, the slew of storms, changing weather patterns, frequent tsunamis and earthquakes are signs that mother earth has had enough of our disregard to her laws. No one seems to be listening to the few green voices in the wilderness that cry out the dangers and it’s mostly these green voices who end up talking to themselves.
I was thinking of terrorism, wars, peoples inhumanity towards each other, farmers and students taking their own lives… Sometimes is just too much to bear and folks are trying to find comfort in their own voice with their own words.
Over population?
That’s ironical, dont you think?. Millions of tons of garbage is dumped everyday by the burgeoning population causing new and deadly drug resistant diseases. Near and dear ones succumb, and for those left behind there’s no one to talk to but themselves.
Can anything be done, my good friend?
Stop reading the newspaper, turn off the TV and don’t browse the internet news and blogs!?
Hey, now wait a minute, I can’t be like an ostrich that sticks its head in the sand!
NO, the ostrich doesn’t do that because its brain is smaller than its eyeball! In fact, it doesn’t bury its head at all.
Phew! It can be difficult to have a decent conversation sometimes.
Wha…?
Sorry, just talking to myself.
