Is that you as a boy?
I tried my hardest to raise my girls more connected with nature. For the most part they have been roaming about, climbing trees, building and being creative. But my eldest is just about to turn 15, she has a phone now and most of the time her and her friends talk about what they see on Social media. They hang out together, but she tells me that when they do, they are just watching stuff, so not interacting so much.
It saddens me, how humanity has been steered in this way, where there is so much competition these days, to look and act a certain way. So much more pressure from society as a whole.
Iḿ totally with you about unplugging from the matrix. I've had to step away from here, because how can I ask my daughter to not spend her time online and yet she sees me doing it.
I'm trying to find a healthy balance, because at the end of the day, I can see the benefits as well (even if they are few). These are complicated times, especially if you want to raise healthy kids xxxx
Yep, you're seeing it first hand and while maybe in isolation it doesn't seem so bad, when all the other stuff is added in it becomes a big problem and fundamentally changed people and society irreversibly, in my opinion. I don't know where it'll all lead, probably nowhere positive.
Oh, and yep that's me. 🫣
