That said, I do believe that we are here to experience being human. In that respect any lessons we learn from paying attention can be seen as furthering us to that goal. And, since I also believe in a personal relationship with God/Divine, I have no problem envisioning whispers in my ear telling me how to lead a better life. It’s quite a comforting thought, really.

Second, I hope it’s not entirely the fault of dwindling brain cells because that means society is in more trouble than I initially thought.

There have been studies, and I see it regularly in women’s magazines, that talk about how multi tasking actually hurts us. However, it seems to be a prerequisite for getting along in society. So much so, that I find myself not even aware I’m doing it most of the time. However, when I do take the time to slow down, focus in on one thing at time, and pay attention, I find that I can get more done in less time. Making multi tasking unnecessary.

I would say that only computers do multi tasking well – and even they don’t do it that well all the time. Hey, that gives me an idea – wouldn’t it be cool if we could just power ourselves down and start over again at the touch of a button?

I would argue that God is in those life lessons, whispering to us better ways in which to live our lives. I hope you find this to be an interesting thought.

Namaste.
