As this world progresses, we feel more and more alienated from this world. We feel that we are not able to keep up with the rapid pace of this world, and we fall behind in technology, fashion, trends and thoughts. We no longer feel that we are 'part' of this world, rather we feel alienated and living in our own worlds or "no man's lands".
And as the world consumes more and more of our time, whether through work or through keeping up with the world's progress (which results in us taking computer courses for example), we feel more and more alienated from ourselves. Sometimes we are so busy that we don't know who are anymore, let alone what we want out of life. We realise that we are very busy doing things to try to enable us to 'belong' or 'fit' into this world (such as work or education), but in order for us to eliminate our alienation from the world, we have, in effect, alienated ourselves from our own personal being. And as we strive to rediscover ourselves, we may want to do so many things to redevelop ourselves into a person we really want ourselves to be, and given our limited time and resources, it is likely that we are not able to achieve this to a satisfactory level. This failure to rediscover our personal being and develop ourselves will reinforce our sense of alienation from our personal being.
Maybe it is this sense of alienation that will lift us from this world and enable us to realise that we are not made for this world.
