RESTLESSNESS

Our leg jiggles.  We can’t sit still.  We get up, pace back and forth.  We check our cellphones for the fortieth time in the hour. 

Why so agitated?  It is because we are not doing what we are here to do.  And what is that? We know perfectly well what that is.  Instead, we are doing what is expected of us, acquiring wealth, power, and prestige, or trying to. 

As a result, our leg jiggles, we can’t sit still, we pace constantly, and we check our cellphones from one end of our lives to the other.
