Making time is all we need...





Time goes by not so happy...

According to a recent study, Americans have a third fewer close friends and confidants than just two decades ago — a sign that people may be living lonelier, more isolated lives than in the past.

In 1985, the average American had three people in whom to confide matters that were important to them, says a study in today's American Sociological Review. In 2004, that number dropped to two, and one in four had no close confidants at all.

In the role as a single for as long as I know care bears have super power. (Don’t underestimate the rainbow care bear) This doesn’t surprise me at all. I’m a perfectly good example of building an invisible wall for anyone to cross over. In life we always need to have a few close relationships as a safety net, but the truth is in these modern times we are living in, people are impatient of listening to someone’s disgruntlement. People are so interested in themselves, that as soon as you open your mouth, you are getting "What they would do," or "You should have done this or that." They are not a good listener at all and sometimes all you need is someone to listen. It’s hard to find someone who have the patient and understand you as an individual.

As the technology continue to advance, people have more entertainment tools such as TV, iPods and computers, it seems easier to relate your problems with strangers online than confiding to your loved ones that we failed to realize that what we need is to develop more inter-personal relationship with our loved ones…
