Recently I have been writting about the VRS providers greed and their hipocritical management. It is not that I am against the profit building business, it is that I am simply over the hipocresy of these companies. But that is not what I am writting about today. The sudden loss of a close person made me reflect on some things over the weekend. We spend most of the day moving so fast and overwhelmed with messages that we do not take time to reflect on what we truly need. I remember the times when people actually communicates with each other, now we alienate ourselves through the magic of technology, we are so disconnected that we can walk by a person in need and not even lift our eyes to see it. We are glued to our computers and live in the shadow of what the VRS providers want us to beleive. When was the last time you took time to even attempt to have a conversation with a hearing person? To educate them and show them that we are just as productive as them? We truly do not know how much time we will have, it is time to get back to the basics of life and respect each other. As something I read once somewhere that stated "Everything that I neede to learn about life I learned in Kindergartden". Unplug from the machine to admire a sunset, enjoy a drink with a friend, have a comversation with a stranger and most of all enjoy everyday as if it was going to be your last one.
 
Unfortunately, it often takes tragedy or loss to bring our attention back to what is truly important. Few take the time to reflect without being forced to.
