RE: It Has Been A Rough Few Days But Since When Is Life Easy?
What is true is that people are quick to judge. You blame it on devices, I think that current society has made everyone more insecure of themselves. People project their own weaknesses onto others and somehow it makes them feel better. A pretty dysfunctional psychological mechanism of defense, but unavoidable in a world which has grown weaker from the educational system, the poisonous food, debt, opioids and sold-out mass media.
The people behind the devices is who I'd blame. It's a trap and even though I see it happening and think it's a waste of time, I can still fall in if I'm not careful. I try to stay away from the "sold-out mass media" but even then it still finds a way to creep in. I enjoy comedy and understand the artform. I'm seeing a lot of jokes being taken seriously lately. That's not how this works.
The devices are conveniently there for our first reaction. If we had to pull out a piece of paper and write a letter, by the time we were done, our second thoughts would have kicked in. The letter wouldn't make it to the mail.
I hope you're getting time at the lake now. I have many friends who need to spend time out in nature. It's almost their religion.
You're right. Knee jerk reactions. Technology makes those easy.
I get a bit of time to be at the lake. Not enough though. Still plenty of other places to explore.
I hear you. The family cottage is a long drive for me and there is a whole world yet to be explored.
