Babbling busyness
This topic is of great interest to me, and I am very good at it. I'll start with the quote the author referenced, as it prompted me to revisit a crucial aspect of my life, leading me to recognize my tendency towards incessant busyness. The author began this chapter on busyness with these words: "Staying on the treadmill means we avoid pausing long enough to face the truth about why we’re running so hard." We all do this. Isn't it? When we encounter an unwanted colleague, we turn our backs and continue doing the thing we were doing without noticing him or her. I was traveling on a train when I happened to see an uncle of mine with whom I did not want to talk, so I pretended to sleep. Another amusing instance of my busyness was when I'd tell people that I had crucial tasks to attend to, which were interrupted because they called me. Instead, I could have simply smiled, excused myself, and explored the various places available to me.Instead
