Great post, upvoted and re-steemed.

"and we also enjoy being constantly entertained by new content on Instagram or Twitter."

This I believe is the root of the problem. Before it was TV, now its smartphones. The technology has advanced, but the function is the same: a tool to escape reality (the present moment).

Most people these days can't just be silent and present. Their attention always has to be directed towards some activity, conversation or thing. Westerners have forgotten what it's like to JUST BE!
