Thinking about the S/W engineer community the first thing that came to my mind was
This famous poem by
Poet William Henry Davies
What is life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and
stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or
cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in
grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at
night.
No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can
dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and
stare.
I find more and more people living today happilly thinking abt the promised joys for tomorrow and sorrowfully recalling the pains they faced for it yesterday.So what happens to today?? NOTHING.. Why can't we people think about today and live life on a day to day basis?? Is the weather good today??? go out for a long drive somewhere..Work can wait... Feel down and out.??? Go some place nearby for a long weekend with folks you love to be with. Work is just a means to live not LIFE.. Is'nt it? When will we understand this simple truths of life??

I agree with your thoughts man. Life is no longer lived happily. Everone is just chasing some crazy dream. Relaxing and chilling are terms alien to most of us now!
Wish more ppl thought like us, esp the guys running these companies and making all of us work like mad!
