This is a difficult one for me.
I dont have any empirical data to base my theory on, but I guess you can call it coming of age.
If you asked me this question 10 years back or even 5 I would have said an empathic 'YES'
Today, with all the so called experiences behind me, I am not so sure.
Some people might argue that to not engage life is akin to refusing to live.
The fact that this is a 3-D interactive set up is what makes all this so real. I know, this is almost on the verge of some spiritual discourse, but if you can spare another minute those guys aren't so off the mark.
You have heard of 'pick you battles' or 'doing nothing is also doing something' or the one I have seen as a poster in many an educational institutes, 'Give me the courage to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the ones I cant and the wisdom to know the difference'. All of these and more are arguing your right to disengage once-in-a-while.
There will be things you have no control over (for the ones who are firm believers in destiny to the smallest detail, you have control over nothing) but I am talking about things you seemingly have control over, could do something about and taking that thought further can choose to do nothing.
will you belittle yourself by doing nothing? will you belittle the task or the individual you are ignoring?
will you feel sometime later in life that if only I had not let that simple digression go unpunished, the larger damage could have been averted?
what do you feel?
Do you ignore many a things on a daily basis?
If you do, then how do you decide?
On what parameters do you choose?
