The Epidemic of Busyness
Busyness has become a defining characteristic of contemporary life, especially in the United States. Many people, including students and missionaries, report feeling overwhelmed by their packed schedules, which often include various responsibilities and commitments. This chronic busyness is not only a response to the demands of a fast-paced society but has also been internalized as a measure of personal worth. The result is that individuals often equate their value with their level of activity, leading to a culture where saying 'I'm busy' has become a common greeting.
