too much information and no knowledge

In today's time, everybody wants to be everything. A doctor, by profession wants to be an author, a guitarist, a movie buff, a traveler and a tech enthusiast and also to know more and more about the world. Not that it's not possible , it's just not what is desired by the doctor himself.

When we sit and have a conversation with a group of friends, there comes a topic or talk that we are not aware of and hence feel out of conversation. That feeling leads us to google more, look more, read more fact and figures about more things. With all of this, our mind become so heavy and our energies so drained. All because there is too much information that we have stored in there.

Fun fact is, we can clearly remember the things that we recently come across or the events or happenings that are just al most a week old. but what are we doing instead ?! Scrolling through the Instagram, looking at the pictures, a lot of them and suddenly an hour or may be two, are gone. And all we remember is what we saw on there.

A recent study suggested, that it took us 2,00,000 years to bring the industrial revolution and just 200 from that to reach here, from that. Hence, our mind is exposed to so much of information suddenly and we only got a really short time to make our brain evolve for the same. All this resulted in the mental problems that we are facing today. May it be depression, tiredness,or brain hemorrhage and many more.

We are constantly trying to be better, not accepting our self already complete as we are. Some video on Facebook tells us how to get slim in 30 days , first making you believe that you are not slim and happy at the first place. This market, if we understand, is created to make humans doubt themselves at first and then using that doubt to sell.

And very sadly, we can conclude that we are too much informed but no real knowledge. The way , when everybody feels
complete and satisfied and all they learn is because they are interested in that, would be a dream day.

I think we all know this somewhat deep inside, we are just too afraid to go against it. We just don't want to be the odd be out so we do , what everybody is doing so we could be the part of the cool conversation. And we end up feeding our minds with the things we don't need, we are not interested.

There are many things that we can do but for starters, be conscious of what we are feeding our mind. Is that useful enough? Do we need that kind of datas we need in our mind. Rest will follow.
