Half a second

More time I don't have for you, to listen to you because I'm busy, late already (or any other excuse one can think of not to take time for someone else). Does it sound familiar to you? Might be it does not if you read this, are on Steemit or any other platform killing time or hoping you find the jackpot. That pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, that rainbow without an end or start. It's all an illusion just like so many things in life.

The question: can you spare me a minute for example? As is one minute is enough to say what's on your mind or bothering you, enough to explain a brilliant idea or ask for someone to give you a hand because you aren't able to manage on your own. Managing on your own is what many do and I wonder why can't we help each other? Doing a task together can be helpful and if it's not perhaps it's more fun. Some distraction, a chat while at work gives energy. While most likely eighty percent of the world does the job alone and feels miserable about it there's another eighty percent feeling lonely or bored to death.

That's it for today. I invested more than half a second in writing, even more than five minutes but I have things to do (opening my laptop again and waiting for mister postman so he doesn't need to bother my neighbour) and keeping the dog company since she asked me if I have a minute for her too.
