Our Culture of Immediacy

The L.A. Lakers just won the NBA Finals. I watch the celebration for a few seconds and then then start clicking. One channel away is QVC---already selling championship attire. (And now I'm blogging about this two minutes later.) We are a weird society.

After visiting with a 94 year old monk a few weeks ago, I'm trying to embrace the values of silence more. Think more, talk less.

I'm not sure if this post is a positive or a negative in that endeavor, but I felt I simply had to criticize our culture of the immediate . . . and do it right now! ;-)
