Distraction. It's dangerous. In the near term and the long term. It can cause you to lose track of time, valuables and risks. It can sentence you to a lifetime of reactionary and misguided activity. But where does it come from? Why does it happen? Simple. A lack of presence. I see less and less presence in the world today. More and more people walking around in the 'machine shop' of life, indiscriminately putting their hands one cutting, flattening or grinding machine or another. Perhaps we feel like we are buffered from life to a sufficient degree to shed ourselves of the 'super focus' our ancestors relied on to survive? I don't think so.
