Alright, before you read this, I need you to set aside all preconcieved notions about anything you know about life. Then I need you to take a step back and pretend you are an outsider looking in on a strange strange world.
I'm not sure who made up the rules, but what happened to us? Pretend you are married (or if you are, don't pretend) - So you wake up, maybe you see each other in the morning, maybe you don't. Then you go to work for 8, 10, 12 hours. So does your spouse, if you are lucky you guys work the same hours. So you spend 8-12 hours, or more, with your coworkers. Then you come home for, four maybe five hours before you need to sleep again and once again you lay down and sleep next to the one you are married to and wake up and play this game again. This sounds correct so far, right?
How does it make sense that we spend more time with our coworkers than with our spouse? Now, everyone wants to say that they are not materialistic, money is not the most important thing - family is. So, why is it that you spend more time apart than you do together? It's no wonder why people get divorced. They fall in love with the people they see most often. They get to spend their days and time together. How hard is it to do this??? To me, in my head, this makes absolutely NO sense what-so-ever. None. There has got to be other ways, and I know there are, but most people are so stuck in this home to work work to home cycle that they can't even look outside of this and see a better way.
Sorry. That's my rant. Probably more to come :)
