the natural progression to grow beyond these walls seems lacking.

Yep, that's right! However, I think it's similar and also very common offline in the walking life.

Unless you may have "enough long time" to develop true long lasting and close ties of friendship with someone with the genuine power to transcend distances. This mainly and always are gonna be just an endless sequence of ephemeral encounters with loose ties of new vital discoveries & short relationships through our affective life.

Nowadays, in the middle of so much conflicts, distractions, infoxification and confusion. Life use to keep us extremely busy on an constant quest to simply find our true selves.

Therefore, under this current frantic train of life in survival mode. Who really have the time and how one can stop peacefully just for few minutes to actually remember say hi to those in the intimate list within the entrails of our minds & hearts? Who of them we can consider family or our authentic friends which indeed deserves our attention and deference as many of them could well be expecting?

Yeah! we clearly aren't idiots or missing something. Perhaps we are merely a litlle bit too old fashioned. And the only Naked Truth here to ponder. Is the fact that the good times have changed!! :)
