Are we truly living?

In todays world there is so much of pressure on everyone to perform. Hence I have started to feel that man kind today is always running... running for school, work, to catch a flight, to make it to an appointment and god knows what all. Do we even have time to appreciate other things in life? like the hue of the setting sun or the smell o the first rain. I wonder where are we running to. Are we truly living? Feel free to contribute your thoughts and shed some light on this big question.

today's world is going fast and fast and so on. people are running behind money, status, fam, class and so on. today we donot have time for our ownself and not even for our nearest and dearest people including our family. we do not have time for understanding feelings and emotions of others, though we have time for running after money. we are ready to do anything for money but not for our own family. we all are entering into race of becoming the first and superior. when we get one thing, the world and the others are running before us with some other and better thing. in todays world we are becoming like a machine. we have our planned sterio type schedule. we are doing work like a machine. from the morning till late night we are running behind things like nothing. we are rich enough but we are not able to understand and appreciate the value of others. we forget our self respect. we are doing the things by selling our principles and values, feelings and emotions. we do not hesitate to do anything only for money and status. we ignore our parents and relatives and do the things blindly to become rich and famous person. even we do not hesitate to do wrong things and to walk away on wrong ways. nature and to spend time with our family is the most important things from which we can get true happiness. we all must spent some time with nature and family and forget our tensions and enjoy the life.

even we make child to live under pressure. starting from the small age we expect too much from our child. we make our child like donkey who all the time carry on some burden over them. the things which are not being fulfiled by us, we expect our children to do all that things. we have stolen their childhood.
