Speaker 1: I like asking questions. The reason why is because the
fund begins when you start researching for answers such as
do weekends still exist? Is it still about Saturday and Sunday? Plus?
Why have people stopped asking questions? My name is Erro.
I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. That means I
stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
then activate. I call it the daily mess, a chronological
walk through an everyday world. Yep, it's my morning pages.
As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people
tend to throw it to the side and deal with
it later. Well, when a subject arrives inside of me,
I know it's time to dig in. It's still keeping
that daily journal, but by doing the research, the picture
becomes clearer. This is the daily mess because so many
Americans are having to work two and three jobs just
to keep a roof over their head. Is there such
a thing as a weekend? Well, of course the answer
is yes. It's still commonly found between Friday night and
Monday morning, but experts say the lines are beginning to blur.
In fact, one person calls the term weekend a concept.
They aren't what they used to be, which was a
two day period for rest, recreation, and leisure, a time
to disconnect one problem. Though, as mentioned in the beginning,
during these times of financial challenge, these so called rest
days are actually workdays. I love it when articles say
this is when people tend to shop, travel, and engage
in other activities. Companies need employees to make that luxury possible.
What I'm seeing, and I'm not a professional, but there's
a shift in what days represent this thing called a weekend.
People are choosing to do Monday through Wednesday. Many choose
to walk that path because the lines are shorter, the
campgrounds aren't overcrowded, and movie theaters have more room to
stretch out in. So when is your weekend? Hey? Coming
up next? Have we stopped asking questions? Thanks for coming
back to the daily mess. Have people stopped asking questions?
One mental expert is quick to answer, questions are less frequent,
or one is hesitant to ask certain types of questions,
especially in adulthood. How is this even possible? As kids,
it was always why why? But once we slipped into
those adult shoes, we've eased back on asking those questions. Oh,
there's a reason why. Fear factors the fear of appearing ignorant,
a desire to avoid conflict, and the sense of not
wanting to bother others. There's no such thing as asking
a dumb question, yet so many of us hold back
on gaining access to a better answer. Well, how about
those who ask the question but are over confident in
what they think the answer is, so they choose to
argue with you when the truth is right there in
front of them. There are workplaces that showcase a culture
of having no room for questions. It's our way or
it's the highway. And yes, research has unveiled that we
have lost the art of asking questions because as a generation,
we have lost our knack of curiosity. The older we get,
the less we want to explore. I'm Marriyl, and that's
the daily mess.
