A Peek into my Psyche
Last night I had a dream that the powers that be decided to clean shop amongst humans. They were assessing each person's contribution to society and eliminating those that weren't considered valuable. They weren't killing people, but the people simply vanished - no longer existed. The details have gotten fuzzier as my day has gone on, but I remember the discussion over my resume showing that since having children I'd failed to significantly contribute to my field of study and seemed overly preoccupied with things of the home. I tried to emphaisize the importance of home to our lives and to society. Somehow, I didn't vanish right then, but the dream carried on with me looking over my shoulder and noticing that some of the people that weren't eliminated weren't particularly contributing much other than their hot looks (which was not the reason I was spared). I'm not sure where this dream came from. I'm satisfied with my life. I believe that the time I spend investing in the lives of my children is highly valuable - to my family and to society. No, I haven't updated my resume in awhile, but what would I add to it?

Interesting. Are you not feeling like a valued member of society these days?
ReplyDeleteyou can add things that really matter. you are valuable because of them. you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I tell myself that the things that REALLY matter are intangible and long term, there is a piece of my brain that gets down on me for not accomplishing measurable goals!!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry too much. I had a dream in which I was using toilet paper MADE OF POOP. Seriously. I wanted to vomit in my sleep.
