This long read made me realize something today. The world doesn't seem to revolve in a way that humanity embraces change and compassion towards others.
I also think we can't continue in the same way we are now for very long without disasterous results in the future and I don't think enough is being done, by anyone.
Felt in many ways. The people that possesses power to influence and make a bigger difference towards society tends to serve hypocrisy at their breakfast. There is almost no growth. A never-ending cycle of hopelessness. There's this unspoken rule between my closest circle of friends that whenever we're together we set aside our smartphones and talk our heart out. I chose to put down mine every time even if I have nothing much to say in person.
It is a small step from every individual that counts for humanity to heal. If we cannot see change in others, we start it with ourselves.
Thanks for sharing this @galenkp!
It's a nice thing to put aside the smartphone when with your friends and I think you'd have a better connection with them because of it.
You also make a good point about those in positings of influence and hypocrisy,l - it's up to us as individuals to take away their power, their voice, by not listening.
