I’m sick and tired of hearing the phrase “I’m busy”. This empty slogan seems to be emerging as the new catch phrase to give us a sense of importance or meaning in life. But regardless of your religion, culture, or geographic location, I would argue that this statement is meaningless and simply nonsense. You can add this slogan to the rest of the coin phrases we use to go through the motions in life, exaggerate our importance, and talk without saying anything.
Think about it. What does it actually accomplish to share the fact that you are “busy”. Why is this the ultimate response in every day conversation? Will someone explain what this answer has done for anyone. And my problem with it more than anything is that it is a big lie in the first place. We act like we are forced to be so busy when we are the ones choosing to be busy. Not to mention that we use this as an excuse not to do things that are actually more important in life….like staying in touch with people. Too busy? I say go pound sand. When you die, the world will keep turning….How is that for “too busy”.
