@ peevananda: lol yes, in a way I'm already dead, what's dead is the small kid's mind to whom everything is an adventure and who wonders continuously at everything. Also I used to enjoy more simple pleasures, whereas now it's all duty. Probably this is the effect of age, I'm now almost 54. If so, it is an ugly effect indeed. Maybe it is because of the work rhytms I had for the latest 5 years. You all know the adage, all work and no play....As Steve rightly says, in this modern age where we could let the machines work and allow us some respite for meditation, study, constructive discussions and healthy endeavours, we must run around just to eke out a living. And consider us very lucky we can complain about overwork since many people are loosing their jobs.

@ steve: thanks for the encouragement, one way I sure must work at and which I was maybe more successful years ago is work with the consciousness of being a tool of God. When I succeed in doing something good, then I'll think I was being a good channel. This is also a good way to improve one's job.

Trying to get rid of this intervened spiritual dullness is going to give me back some wonderment, hopefully.
