Why is it that there is a large amount of information about various things around, which people seem to know, or at least talk very confidently about.
If I listen closer, there is a lot I can learn.
As I listen, I can hear more talk, but I wonder how much do they really know about it.
Some information comes from books, some from the internet, television, word of mouth etc.
How much do they really know about these things they are talking about? Have they actually experienced it? Have they read about it, seen a program on it in some form of media?
How much information does that media provide? How much can you really know about it?
Have they spent time to understand these things they talk so confidently about?
Do they understand themselves? Have they spent time thinking about it? Do they still question or do they have enough to keep them occupied?
Is it enough to run through life, doing what it is that you 'need' to do and moving from one to the next? Keep up the pace. Rush. Hurry. or can you STOP.
Think?
Reflect?
What was it that caused me to say that, or do that or feel like that?

Nice and reflective. Makes me challenge my own failure to explore more. I enjoyed this prose poem. I didn't know there was a poet in you too, but I should have guessed by your use of brevity and juxtaposing ideas to create new ideas in images and here in words. Nice to meet another poet/artist/human.
