Understanding why

How the world lives, mystifies many. We all know how we ourselves live - we know what we do, what we like to do, what we have to do, and what we set out to do, and what we actually do. But how often do we know what others do? Will it be similar to what we ourselves do? Or will there be any basis for comparison at all? Maybe that is why we have devised many ways and means to find this information out. Ways to seek out, whether innocuously or armed with a motive, the lives and routines of others we are interested in - or maybe it is not actually the people or conduits with which these lifestyles are manifested we are interested in, but the curiosity and wonder at which we hope to see ourselves perhaps partaking in similar activities, that excite this desire to know more. We hope to see ourselves in their shoes, or maybe, taking the position of a bystander, satiating an inner voyeuristic yearning. But one thing is sure, the search for this acutely acute awareness of what is going on around us will not only continue, but intensify, and increasingly so.



And that is why you are here.
