New week, new snippet.
📚 How have you spent your weekend lately? Do you know that if you smile you can´t be mad at anyone right now? Go on, try it. Sharing and learning =)
On loneliness
We have turned the social media or connection into optimized interaction, and the engagement has been lost.
Loneliness is one of the consequences of this search for visibility instead of empathic discovery.
Far from disconnected, our current society seems numbed at times.
Shallowness in work, relationships, projects, in almost all areas.
More and more times we fall prey to this sentiment of loneliness, and some might argue it´s because of difficult times. Right, they are right, but who created those “tough” times?
Not trying to blame anyone, it´s simply a call to endure what has been given to you and carry it as your craft. Do not fear obstacles. Challenge them. It´s the best you can do, and by doing that, you´ll find you aren´t optimizing for a lonely living anymore.
On dreams
True love. True memories. Just hanging there. Treasuring is such a profound thing, a forgotten gift… a wonderful proof that love exists 💭
I like to see love as the dream where you experience your most beautiful sacrifice… with your living eyes.
But first, you must make an oath to live love and follow it not by selfish guidelines, but by shared hope of fulfilling a heart every day. True love will always believe in us. Would you believe in it?
On optimizing as your pure end
With the rise of Artificial Intelligence systems and repetitive mechanisms are more replaceable than ever. Even knowledge and its practical applications are also being endangered.
There´s fewer human connection. There´s more fear of uncertainty than ever, and we think machines, software, and all other kinds of technological systems have all the value we once had.
There´s still one thing -inherent to us, that can´t be optimized by these programs: thehuman condition.
Ah, just one more thing, if you want to continue improving your mental state, your focus, and overall, your presence of mind, join me and a deep community of learners that aim to construct a life on intention and depth.
We´ll chat later on this week´s life brew, so stay tuned for that. As always…
Thank you for sharing this helpful, profound & timely message. I really like the whole discussion. My favorite part is about not fearing obstacles. Challenging them. You are correct by doing that we are no longer optimizing for a lonely living anymore. We are stepping into our power & potential.
