Empire state of mind

I sit at my desk and look outside at the concrete jungle and I realise that I love it. It totally reeks of capitalism and empowerment and I wonder Is this what we are filling up our lives with?
The vibe of the city and the tall buildings seem like they have been there waiting for me all this while. Within board rooms there are talks and more talks mostly faffing around kinds, big words…smaller meanings. Surrounded by glass, paper, coffee mugs, hi-tech screens and gadgets it is such a relief to see the sun streaming down through the windows. There is a sense of urgency and speed in everything that’s done, which is a culture I m beginning to appreciate. Sitting in a high rise I can see the city lights and the bustling traffic below my floor space.

It is quite a surprise to see that this is what I thrive on.
