The Flow of Traffic...
This past week I found myself part of an all too common occurrence on our
interstate highways. As most of you know, Atlanta traffic rarely stays at
one speed and once the cruise control is off, the lead foot can take over.
No, I didn’t get pulled over, but I did get caught up in the ever-increasing
speeds of the traffic around me. As one car would break away from the slower
group, others would take up speed to follow and soon five or six cars are
all traveling waaay too fast. I had to make an extra effort to look around,
slow down, and move into the lane to my right.
In life, I like to be able to go at my own pace, sometimes even if it is too
fast. How often do we get caught up in the culture around us and find
ourselves in too deep, going too fast? In our whirlwind modern culture it is
easy to be enthralled by the newest gadgets, the newest ideas, the latest
ways of life that will supposedly make it better. We dive into Facebook,
Twitter, smartphones, Ipods, Ipads, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, laptops, desktops…
well, you get the point. While almost everything we get into these days may
have some potential benefit, we must be careful not to lose the heart of
most of our technology these days: communication. Not simply a text, an
email, or a twitter post, but a face to face, real,
see-it-feel-it-experience-it communication with each other. These days, we
might be more “connected” than ever, but we just might be going way too fast
with everyone else to get to the relationship that matters more than
anything else. So next time you go to communicate with someone, instead of
simply throwing out an email or a text, take the time to see them face to
face, or a real phone call so they and you can hear the voice and the
identity on the other line. It may take a bit more time, but maybe it is
time; time to slow down and drop a bit back from, you guessed it, the flow
of traffic.
