I think the hardest thing to do in today's world is spend time with other people. I don't mean interact and see people that's easy. I mean to get down and know people it's hard. I say this because I have more time than most people can possibly dream of 3hrs a day max at school and that's it.
However with the other 21 hours in a day I don't find that I'm meeting and working with other people. It seems that even with so many people unemployed, and more people than ever walking the streets that trying to gain a bit of someone's time is the hardest thing in the world to do.
My guess is that we've made it so we travel farther and do more complex things daily than we used to and our mental capacity is just filled up. Sure I get on the cell phone and call people and interact via Facebook and my blog but it seems that everything requires money to do and I don't have it and neither does anyone else.
So lets hear it for deflation. Maybe if things cost less, we could stop worrying about trying to keep up. People have wanted raises and increased minimum wages for a long time but all these things do is make people keep turning on the hamster wheel of work and then nobody has time to sit down and chat.
Except me. And every time I call someone it feels like I'm interrupting important business. So people calm the hell down and lets have coffee.
