I am very aware of the info technology world, aware but not proficient!! It is true that things are getting faster but 'things' are not relationships. You can't turbo charge a friendship or put it on DSL speed. It is about trust and adventures and shared experience and TIME. You build it on a continuing series of trusting events whether in conversation or activities. Is there genuine respect and love, sacrifice? Most advertisements seems to try and make us move faster or make it possible for success to be quicker and greater. Instant university diplomas????? Give me a break on being stupid but I thought it took years of study, analysis, exams etc before you were qualified to be in a certain area and even then you don't have experience....ahh that priceless stuff that brings wisdom and quality. Wisdom and quality are God's attributes and I have to keep asking Him to give me wisdom and the attitude to treat other humans in a quality way. Constant selfish noise really hurts your ears after a while and you'll find yourself alone. I want to listen more, speak less, enjoy the silence, build the trust, phone my friends with ,"How are you?" not, "Hey, guess what else I have to say about me!!???"
