i asked you a question. what?

If a question goes unanswered, was it ever a question to begin with? If you just read that question without an answer, you too have become disconnected. (and no the question wasn't rhetorical) Had I sent that question via a text message, then would have you replied?

Often times our "busy" lives just don't have time for the important things, one of which would be listening. In fact I bet you can think of a couple of people right now, that when asked a question, it seems as though you are asking them to give up their life for an answer. Maybe, that's the problem? We are asking them to give up their life, even if it's just a moment, it's a piece of their life that they will never get back. How dare you cloud up their day with a question, in which they know the answer too, but are way to busy to answer. You have some nerve.

So maybe it wasn't greedy corporate America that destoyed our economy, or the politicians in D.C. I'll bet you that the little man, the average American who makes $30,000 a year, who bought a $250,000 dollar home had nothing to do with it eithier, right? After all when their conscience asked the question is this right, we answered ourselves, didn't we? Maybe today's economy is a result of ourselves being to busy to answer our ownselves. I'll bet had I texted myself, do you really need to be buying this big screen right now, I may have answered myself. Perhaps, even then, I was to busy.

So what's the point? (like you've been listening) Lend an ear, because whether you believe it or not, the next question you hear may decide your future, or what your doing for lunch today.
