Human or Machine

We live in a world where we are taught to act like machines. Get up, do the same job, be in the same place, always be active, always be creating, always do this, do that, be like this, put logic and information on a pedestal and show kindness the door.
.
I think it's safe to say we've missed out some very important things. We've forgot family, friends, true relationships, recuperation, mental health, overall health, kindness, love, the list goes on. I for one struggle greatly to balance all of these things. I don't give family much time, I strive for my long-term goals and the future in place of the present, I'm not as kind as I could be and I struggle to keep my friends close. I push away time to rest, I work and only work, and I never feel like I'm doing enough.
.
Perhaps I'm just overthinking and being to critical of myself, but I refuse to think that I'm the only one who feels this. To a better us, and to wasting time on doing nothing!
