RE: Time to Question yourself and those around you

It is the #DumbFall it seems. Access to reams of info but we, like rats, are trained to stay on wheel one.
"if we are to elevate and transcend the stupidity of our day." defiantly on point. If you and the best of you and i am the best i, we make each other stronger. There is a virtue in being selfish.
Taking a step away, or back from the plebes lets us all see better what is happening. Is that what you are doing? Yet, watching what is happening?
"Thinking for myself... Living free... To me! This is EVERYTHING!" It is I agree. Ones own definition is what defines life.
Questing everything includes ones own self and what ones own self owns definitions are. The fact that you can let others challenge you, is by far the best way to learn. You make some very good points that ring the bell of silence.
That time alone might have been the one of the best things to come out of all this lockdowns. Forcing people to questions their lives as to their own WHY. Forced self discovery so it seems.
I am glad i could spill some insight to wash the dirt away, it is not me though i just hold what was put in.
When a foreign object comes towards the eye it instinctively blinks. There is nothing selfish about that. I think of it much the same... When what's happening in society isn't healthy you need to be aware of it but it's always best to step away from the toxicity.
So yes.
I have been doing that lately.
And yes...
The introspection that has come out of this pandemic has endedUP being good for those who took the opportunity to do so.
You are spot on!
I mean selfishness more in the terms of making oneself the better so that you call me higher by the virtue of how you live life. Self protection is selfish in a way but for a good reason to not go blind.
I am glad we are connected here and that the huge negative has spun a large overwhelming positivity for you and many others. That is the true sign of a mind that chooses.
That explanation of "selfishness" makes sense. I have to wonder sometimes... people judge others saying, "Your selfish." when meanwhile you look at their selfless lives and think, "There is NO WAY I want anything to do with THAT!" lol!
But yes.
Time to bring yourself to a higher plane can look selfish to some who are not wise the the webs being spun.
I am someone who chooses and I'm glad that you are as well!
Thanks for the interesting discussion. 🙂
If you and i want the best for ourselves it demands that more 'best' is created to fill the demand. Obviously the definition of what is best for you and what is best for me is different but if everyone wanted the best widget, there would have to be more best widgets created. Not just for economical reason but for the demand of people creating the best of what they can trade for the next persons best creation.
It seems like most want convenient, easy, cheep...and they get that. That path seems to lead society to waste. The car breaks down more and more for it was cheap to make. If the car lasted for 90 years it would retain value and others would want it for it was made the best it could at the time and materials at hand and the minds.
It is a mental shift to demand for oneself. You are, as I read it, in your life, stepping away to see for yourself what You want, for what is the ‘best’ for you. A Magical path to walk.
Your thoughts are key and i thank you for sharing them. It makes me question mine and refine what i know. Making me better!
AMAZINGLY PUT! 🤩
I couldn't have said this better.
Thank you for articulating this and giving me a sounding board. This is how we both get better and it's what this blockchain should be about.
Let's keep discovering what better (individually and collectively) means...
It is important after all! (More than some would want us to believe.)
This is the reward for learning how to think for ourselves...
I really like that you connected these dots in such a creative and intelligent way. 👍
Cheers to you for wanting to push and push me to flesh it out for you and i and others to see.
Yes i agree, this must be what Hive and Life is about.
Thanks for taking the time to read and making me rewrite what i see. Sharpening my skills for the benefit of you, for me. Bits are lost but the knife gets sharp.
💯 That's how we keep each other sharp and on point! 🙌
Pun in pointed perfectly. Indeed.
😁
