The presence of extreme busyness in our lives may point to deeper problems – a pervasive people pleasing, a restless ambition, a malaise of meaninglessness. “Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance, a hedge against emptiness,” writes Tim Kreider in his widely read article for The New York Times. “Obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or trivial or meaningless if you are so busy, completely booked, in demand every hour of the day.” The greatest danger with busyness is that there may be greater dangers you never have time to consider.

Just a reminder. Please change the subject line when the content of your
message significantly differs from that of the original. It is usually
helpful to reference the old subject if going off on a tangent. For
instance, a recent thread could be retitled:

{NBC} Christian ghettos (was Re: Hotel California)

What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit
his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
