Stop, take a moment to reflect

When was the last time you stopped to reflect on your life? Most people go through life on auto-pilot. There are people around them all the time and life becomes this string of conversations and events that these people who surround you trigger in your life. To these lot, reflection does not hold much value. Reflections of your choices, events and conversations help you improve how you face the world. Life without improvements will be like doing the same mistakes again and again. Whenever I meet people who dont seem to have even a single moment of reflection, I just think what is the point of developing a relationship with them? It will just be dominated by a series of conversations and choices which are fundamentally ill-thought out, impatient and lacking any real wisdom and primarily dominated by them. This phenomemon of a lack of reflecting capability is closely linked to a lack of listening skills. People who dont have the capacity to reflect should listen to others and thereby learn something new and/or learn a new way of looking at things. The world is full of people who dont stop, who dont relfect. Not that there is anything wrong with it, like gay people, just a bit worse.
