There is a show on TV called 'Under the Dome'. In this series, the residence of a little town are cut off from the rest of the world by an impenetrable dome. They live, unaware of what's going on around them. That seems to describe so many people today. People walking around in their own little bubble. How do people function like this? Living a life without any consideration for anyone else around them. Ever been in a store and a single person is ambling down the aisle, slow as can be, taking up all the space? You want to is get around them with your shopping trolley, but no! They are in their own world. Not realizing anyone else is around them.
Shockingly, drivers can be this way too. Driving down the street blasting music loud enough to wake the dead. Yes, I get they are enjoying their 'music', but everyone else is 'enjoying' their music too. They either don't realize it, or don't care. And if you lived under a dome, would you care? Most likely, not. Or taking up two lanes on the motorway. What's that about? Under the dome. Remember the B-52's? They have a song called 'Private Idaho'. It's almost the same thing.
Questions for discussion:
What's your best example of living under the dome?
Have you ever watched or read 'Under the Dome'?
Do you feel there are appropriate times to be under the dome?
