Business and Busyness

 .

Power is not just taken from individuals by overworking (or too much busyness) in their lives, power is also taken from communities.

Families in isolation cells, and family members in cells, unable to create and nurture valuable relationships with those around them.

Power is taken from us and given to businesses; this is called employment.  But if too much power is taken from us it is to our detriment.


(I believe) Too much power is being taken from us and given to businesses.  We should be angry with this.


          If employment were "forced" then the amount of work the populace, on average, works, would have us up in arms, because as individuals it takes from us our very souls.  For families it takes (I believe) necessary time and energy from investment into the healthy growth of children, and the nurturing of relationships between spouses and between parents and children;  in essence taking the soul from the family.  For communities it isolates us in our family cells, making us unable to create and nurture valuable community relationships;  in essence taking the soul from the community.

          (Busyness has the same affect, though with the curious characteristic that we can be both with whomever it would be valuable to have important time/energy with (including ourselves) and yet still not be with them.  The busyness prevents us from truly being with that person, or people.  Busyness is more evident as being our own choice(s), which can make the negativity of it less clear, though the affect is the same.)


Yet we are not angry, because we have not been forced into our cells; we have, through seemingly reasonable choices in our lives, opened the door, shut the door, and locked it;  Keeping ourselves from what is truly meaningful and valuable.


A society in cells created of Busyness and Business.
