To disappear isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Individuals need there own time to meditate and contemplate life to its fullest. There’s nothing wrong with watching a TV show you like, playing a video game for a half hour or a taking in a movie you love. However, it is when we cross a boundary into the realm of addiction and numbing that “me time” goes too far. There’s a line where one passes from enjoyment to disconnection.
Sometimes a person needs to just sit and do nothing. Sometimes a person needs to realize that doing nothing isn’t bad. Sometimes a person needs to realize that sitting on their computer or indulging in video games isn’t doing nothing.
There is a realm of addiction where people enter to free themselves from the daily world. When someone shoots crack, or plays a video game for the better part of the day… All humans try to disconnect in someway. All the magic is being stolen away, sucked into little black holes of our own creation.
Doing nothing, in order to clear your head, or in order to fill it. To disappear into ones own mind. To think. To mediate. To meditate. To contemplate. To convert. To need. To love. To live. To hurt. To heal. To cry. To try. To realize.
To breathe…
To breathe in life anew, free of the shackles of boredom and the id. Infinite patience isn’t achievable by a human standard; but humans can learn to accept silence, darkness or emptiness with joy. One may go and wander a park, sit on a bench, listen and meditate the bird’s songs. Heed a child cooing. Ponder the sound of traffic. Excite at the sound of rustling leaves. Close one’s eyes and enjoy the dark.
Disappear into the oblivion that is the world. Embrace it, and become it. Realize that you are alone. Realize that you are never alone. Embrace existence, both in your world and the real world.
