Overloaded lives.

I can handle only so many friends. Because true friendship often takes time. And energy. Real involvement. Furthermore, I’d not want to be obligated to many, many people. Because that would spread me thin. I wouldn’t have time for everyone. I’d have to pick and choose. Or ration my time. That would be very frustrating. I suspect that many people have overloaded lives. They take on too much. That may go especially for some doctors and clergymen. They have too many patients or parishioners. And can’t serve them well. I’d rather focus fully on a few. Rather than scantily on many. –Jim Broede
