from the mind of critic-11/17/17

From the mind of critic: “If all humans want and need real connection, how come so many of our actions disconnect us? Is it because talking is a lot easier than doing? Do we take part in newer and newer depersonalizing acts because everyone else is, which in some weird way makes us feel connected, even though it’s doing the exact opposite? Are we just lazy, and want human interaction, but expect it to fall into our laps, because we want to pull in good stuff, without putting anything good back out? As the world gets more personal, the more it gets impersonal. The more we get connected through social media, 24 hours news, amazon, credit, home delivered food and groceries and economics, the more we get disconnected from each other for the same reason. Like the balance of life and humanity, we have free will and are not governed by what technology and society tell us, but how we infuse our humanity into ever changing technology and society. Once we realize that treating ourselves special, taking care of ourselves and being a good person aren’t just for people with extra time on their hands but all of us on a daily basis, we’ll see that our humanity is inherent, but will be constantly put to the test as the world evolves. Once our actions spring from what we actually want not what society and technology tell us, we will finally walk the walk we constantly talk about.” 🙂
