Wonders when the last time anyone...

I want to know what happened to the days when we just looked up to the stars and thought about everything and nothing at the same time. The world keeps spinning and we keep running and yet we never pause to think about where we are going. The people before us understood things we are to busy to see. About thought, and contemplation, about life, and feelings. To think that all our goals are so monetary and all our dreams revolve around the reality in which we cocoon ourselves is actually quite depressing. Life is to short to not take the time and pick the roses and just lay in the grass and look up in the stars. To think of things that have never been thought before. To feel new emotions. To relish in our own humanity and our own imperfections. Why is it that we never do this anymore?
