Creativity killed - Walking the dog

Everyday the worker turned outside his cubicle to peer out of the window for a look of the outside world. However.. something deep down told him this was unproductive and not beneficial for company time. He felt sadness because the view outside brought life into him but looking inward toward his cubicle brought depression. Looking outside the sun shined bright, birds flew around seeking out food and the greenery outside just felt like there was more to life than the confines of his cubicle. Still, deep down he knew peering outside was not a good thing and the company frowned upon taking unnecessary breaks which would prove problematic on the bottom line. He knew the business world was all about making money and viewing life outside was definitely not within the scope of business.

It seems the entire world holds to this view lately. Life is just plain depressing when you isolate your self and alienate yourself from the outside world. It becomes an existence that is all about living indoors and becoming robotic. I sometimes wonder if we are on a road to nowhere because I often think there probably is more to this world than meets the eye. We love seperating ourselves from this world and always try to find external ways to calculate things about this world and our universe. Hell, maybe the answer is staring us in the face maybe we should start thinking about "life" more and realize there is more to it than meets the eye.

Realize living in a cubicle for most of your life is not a good thing. Even if the company were compensating you fairly for doing so it still seems not enough to pay someone for losing part of their life. This world is a fascinating place and I think we all need to start by understanding it better.
