1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: I like asking questions. The reason why is because the

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,559
fund begins when you start researching for answers such as

3
00:00:06,919 --> 00:00:12,439
do weekends still exist? Is it still about Saturday and Sunday? Plus?

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,480
Why have people stopped asking questions? My name is Erro.

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,960
I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. That means I

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,879
stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,839
then activate. I call it the daily mess, a chronological

8
00:00:25,839 --> 00:00:28,679
walk through an everyday world. Yep, it's my morning pages.

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,519
As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people

10
00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:33,759
tend to throw it to the side and deal with

11
00:00:33,799 --> 00:00:36,640
it later. Well, when a subject arrives inside of me,

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,799
I know it's time to dig in. It's still keeping

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,159
that daily journal, but by doing the research, the picture

14
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:47,719
becomes clearer. This is the daily mess because so many

15
00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:50,079
Americans are having to work two and three jobs just

16
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:52,359
to keep a roof over their head. Is there such

17
00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:54,920
a thing as a weekend? Well, of course the answer

18
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:58,840
is yes. It's still commonly found between Friday night and

19
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,359
Monday morning, but experts say the lines are beginning to blur.

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,319
In fact, one person calls the term weekend a concept.

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,319
They aren't what they used to be, which was a

22
00:01:09,359 --> 00:01:13,000
two day period for rest, recreation, and leisure, a time

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,159
to disconnect one problem. Though, as mentioned in the beginning,

24
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,799
during these times of financial challenge, these so called rest

25
00:01:20,879 --> 00:01:24,640
days are actually workdays. I love it when articles say

26
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,719
this is when people tend to shop, travel, and engage

27
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,920
in other activities. Companies need employees to make that luxury possible.

28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,439
What I'm seeing, and I'm not a professional, but there's

29
00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:39,680
a shift in what days represent this thing called a weekend.

30
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,200
People are choosing to do Monday through Wednesday. Many choose

31
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,760
to walk that path because the lines are shorter, the

32
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:49,959
campgrounds aren't overcrowded, and movie theaters have more room to

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,959
stretch out in. So when is your weekend? Hey? Coming

34
00:01:55,079 --> 00:02:00,319
up next? Have we stopped asking questions? Thanks for coming

35
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:04,239
back to the daily mess. Have people stopped asking questions?

36
00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:08,960
One mental expert is quick to answer, questions are less frequent,

37
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,639
or one is hesitant to ask certain types of questions,

38
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,360
especially in adulthood. How is this even possible? As kids,

39
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,159
it was always why why? But once we slipped into

40
00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:25,680
those adult shoes, we've eased back on asking those questions. Oh,

41
00:02:25,719 --> 00:02:30,439
there's a reason why. Fear factors the fear of appearing ignorant,

42
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,560
a desire to avoid conflict, and the sense of not

43
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,439
wanting to bother others. There's no such thing as asking

44
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,599
a dumb question, yet so many of us hold back

45
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:43,840
on gaining access to a better answer. Well, how about

46
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,719
those who ask the question but are over confident in

47
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:49,800
what they think the answer is, so they choose to

48
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,879
argue with you when the truth is right there in

49
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,840
front of them. There are workplaces that showcase a culture

50
00:02:55,879 --> 00:03:00,240
of having no room for questions. It's our way or

51
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,759
it's the highway. And yes, research has unveiled that we

52
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,080
have lost the art of asking questions because as a generation,

53
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,960
we have lost our knack of curiosity. The older we get,

54
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,240
the less we want to explore. I'm Marriyl, and that's

55
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,039
the daily mess.
