This is how it goes, and the fact that those with family ( by family I mean children and spouse ) - anyways got little opportunity to do anything but follow the family around - means I exclude them from this list.
The largest number was obviously, on a call - I realize that the airport ( especially during the waking hours ) - is the one place where everyone suddenly remembers their friends, their acquaintances who they've forgotten to keep in touch with - the way I see it, the more you fly, the more you'll keep in touch with old friends - on phone, anyways - atleast if you're a plan driven traveller like me.
The next largest number, was again obviously on the phone - and for the first time in my, in my vein as a busy bee - I peeked ---- and of course, FACEBOOK - Mark Zuckerberg probably in his dreams couldn't begin to realize that what he intended to be a forum for keeping in touch would culturally change humanity ----- today we keep in touch via facebook even if the opportunity for calling or meeting presents itself, and of course, its not something we do when we 've got time anymore, its something that we make time for ------ and many of us, everyday.
And then there were a few of us, again on the phone, playing ---- from racing, to tennis to boxing to any other game that we managed to download.
But enough about what all of us were engaged in ----- what I realized that evening was ----- we don't live in a world looking for happiness anymore ----- most of us aren't looking for joy or satisfaction or happiness. What we're looking for more times than not is those small little activities that make us just a little bit lighter, a little more positive and then again move on into the hum drum of daily existence.
Maybe, that's where the world is moving towards ----- maybe, our existentialism starts when we no longer can find those little joys ----- and we start living, just a little more , when we take that moment to distract ourselves with them. And every once in a while do we immerse ourselves in the pure ecstasy of what we truly love - loving company of loved ones, watching a good movie or a good play, visiting a place we always wanted to visit, writing a post we always wanted to write and then leave the rest of our days to these micro bits of happiness.
So - Marck Zuckerberg, my friends, acquaintances, Electronic Arts, Gameloft, the airport ---- Thank you.
