Thank you. As usual, you speak about much needed self-reflection and purpose. I love technology and love connecting with people all over the world, specially when I find so difficult to find my own tribe in my own environment. I think that what FB and other social media platforms are showing is the disconnection that we already had within our own communities, and specially with ourselves. And because of this, we can review it - at least those who start feeling uncomfortable with so much detachment with what's real. Thanks again.
"Like any tool, technology itself isn't good or bad, but we must consciously control how it's used. If we don't, then who becomes the tool?" ~Jim Kwik, "Limitless" ... I think this can apply to our use of social media as well.
Thank you for this valuable post. Yes, it's true ! It's high time we re-connected ourselves and each other to kinship. It should be so simple ! I learned it from my mom, but soon realised that not a lot of people felt it, understood it, yet alone practised it ! We are family, wether we like it or not, and living together in harmony is essential to be in peace with the rest of the other species, and the whole planet, the only vessel in space we can actually live on. We still lack collective intelligence (of course I mean in general, some people already have it or work towards it ) which is just normal, we are the last one who appeared on Earth, therefore, we still have much to learn, and always will have ! Life is pretty terrible for people who are not interested in learning ! Pride can be a dreadful thing. Whenever I feel despair pointing its nose, I remember where we stand, where is our place in the chain of evolution. It gives me patience, and strengh to go on without blowing a fuse !
