Leaving

What does it mean to be leaving? What are people leaving? What are they running from? Where are people going? Who are they running from? Are they running? Why are they leaving? What keeps them from staying? Why are they not staying?

Leaving is a strange thing...because are we really ever present? Do we ever take seriously living in the moment? Do humans take advantage of opportunities to live from moment to moment? I don't think so. Humans are always looking and chasing something they cannot ever have. Leaving happens because people are unsatified with their lives. People are leaving because they are chasing something they may never find. Humans refuse to stop and examine who they are and what is keeping them from wanting to stay put. People are afraid of staying to facing themselves. Fear keeps us from facing ourselves. Fear drives us to leave. Fear consumes us. Facing our fears and not allowing our fears to consume us will keep us living in the moment...being present and will not win over us leaving.
