METROPOLITANO

I've been catching up on reading and a thought crossed my mind.

The world seems to be a metropolitan with endless activities, muffles of voices heading to somewhere or doing something. Are these activities meaningful or are we merely subjected to follow a routine of life per se?

Is it possible to be surrounded by people, even friends and feel alone at the same time? Has the globalised world, in its quest to move forward, discard or even neglected the individuals, who are left behind.

How do we discern our role in this world? Where do we stand in the ever-ruthless food-chain of the world?

Yes, we are 'so-called' free to do as we like, pursuing our 'own goals' and 'dreams' but are we? Aren't we forced to conform to the whimps of expectations bestowed upon us by the very social landscape that we are living in?

Something to ponder about I guess....
