Do you think you hide in that book?  Hide in your words?

“I think I do what I need to do to survive, keep sane.”

Don’t you think it prevents you from trying something different?

“Look around you.  What could be different?”

Talking to people, interacting, learning something new about life.

“I prefer not to learn this cyber-world.”

You think that is the only way?

“If the ground is my focus, I would rather be in this book than my phone.”

So we all hide?  Is that what you judge?

“I have no right to place judgement.  I only say what I see.”

You observe from the outside.  You observe in safety.

“I observe from inside the circle, I just do not participate.”

And that is noble?

“And that is cowardice?”

We are all part of the same hypocrisy.

“I choose to embrace watching how it unfolds.”

You might be able to contribute to changing it…positively.

“My narcissism has no need to manipulate.”

Are you then the soldier or the student?

“The student, fighting the good fight for balance.”

And you are not hiding?

“I am simply trying to be.”
