"With the hectic pace and demands of modern life, many people feel stressed and over-worked. It often feels like there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done. Our stress and tiredness make us unhappy, impatient and frustrated. It can even affect our health. We are often so busy we feel there is no time to stop and meditate!"

I read the above mentioned excerpt on a website called "how to meditate dot com".  

I just don’t get this!  If I’m feeling overly stressed out and over-worked, its not my idea of stress release to sit in an uncomfortable position with my knees in the general vicinity where my boobs should go!  I mean really! 

"Our stress makes us unhappy, impatient and frustrated"? Nooooooooooo.. idiots make me unhappy, impatient and frustrated.  My stress is caused from the piddly-ass wage I make while having to DEAL with the idiots. 

"We are often so busy we feel there is no time to stop and meditate"?  Well of course there’s no time to stop and meditate, unless you count being in rush hour traffic at 5:45 p.m. and gazing up at the sky and saying out loud to yourself.. "you may NOT ram the back of her car to get her to use the long pedal on the right, you may NOT".  Now THAT’S meditation!

I think meditation is over rated.  How many of us would rather wrap our knees around our ears in a quiet field of flowers, or on a mat in our living room and just sit there?  What’s going on outside that you’re missing?  How many kisses could you get in with your spouse or significant other instead of getting a numb tail bone?  How many personal contacts could you make, with another person preferably, instead of listening to the sound of your own breath? 

Meditation………………. BAH!
