What do you do when there is much to do? The obvious is to roll up your sleeves and start doing something. Today is one such day and I know if I get on with the things I have got lined up for the weekend, I would be ahead of some nagging study and personal deadlines. Instead, I have found myself just leaning towards everything self-indulging.
Just as life can really take a drift towards what was never planned for, so can one’s day go. Throughout this week, my work routines have been much interrupted by circumstances which despite being within the frame of my job description require urgent attendance at the expense of everything else. So on this “free” weekend, I have found myself both exhausted and intuitively uninterested in what I had lined up for now.
In a world that is full of physically exhaustive routines, requiring mental alertness round the clock and in which two overtime time duties spanning 48 hours were done in a week, I have found myself thinking I could once again shrug off all of it and get on with my own stuff. Added to these is the psychological impact of all the life and death issues that I found myself sorting out this week. I guess the answer is a two-letter word: NO!
To give an answer to my opening question, I would say it does every one good to take a moment off pressing deadlines, catch some variety and then get down to what is at hand. I am not an avid supporter of the concept of time-outs in sports. It breaks the flow and then we spend a longer time watching the game. However, I think I need to be reminded time and again that when the heat is on, a time-out could also be a part of the game of life.
GLOBAL FILTER
I watched a little while ago as the flag of the world's newest country, South Sudan was hoisted for the first time. I am reminded that justice is always greeted with cheers. And seeing all those hypocritical personalities at the event, I dear add that when justice becomes undeniable, it has many friends and relatives.
