Indeed, one of the biggest paradoxes of our times is the fact that even as technology continually churns out discoveries that are supposed to make our lives simpler and easier, life itself gets more and more complicated.
Relationships get more and more complex and become more at risk of disintegrating.
Amidst the pressures of life in the 21st century, people experience that need to stay connected, not only with people they love but also with their inner selves and to the things that really matter. Oftentimes, without our realizing it, our work dominates our waking time and defines the roles and relationships we enter into. We then use up all our time and energy in this direction, and at the end of the day, there is no more energy left to experience other roles that make living truly joyful. This is not to say that work is not important, because it is. It is the means by which we can acquire our basic necessities and comforts.
