Why do people find the need to have constant noise in their
lives? Whether it be the T.V. or constant music from ear pieces or the blasting
sound effects of a computer game? Are
people trying to block out what their conscience is trying to tell them? Are they afraid of silence when all the
unanswered questions crowd in? I find silence to be comforting after the busy
day. I am not saying I want to live like
a monk. There is a place for the hustle
and bustle of meeting everyday challenges and consorting with other people, but
after that I find a joy in solitude.
Today I went grocery
shopping in the town five miles away. I
am looking to lose weight so I bought lots of fruit and fat free natural
yogurt. I just want to lose enough weight to be more healthy. I have also been on lots of walks in the last
two weeks. This evening I was playing short mat bowls. If I was an entrepreneur
I would be looking to introduce the sport to the U.S.A, but I will have to
leave that to someone else I think. It is a great game of skill, of chance
happenings and surprises. Nothing can be taken for granted. It is suitable for
any age but particularly the older person as there is no dramatic exercise as
there would be with a sport involving running. I must pack my bags and a mat
and bowls and head for the States and make my fortune!!
