The sad part about is that no matter how much we work on ourselves, examine our values, be self aware, considerate - the majority is not on that path. Yet. The pendulum swings, and hopefully this age of superficiality will be over soon. I mean, how much more superficial can it get? Stupid question, I know, I had the same question 10 years ago and here we are...
The community part is important. Can we find those who share enough values with us in order to form a deeper connection? And if not, how much can we ourselves rub off on others?
In galenkps latest Weekend Engagement he quoted Plutarch: "What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality."
Is the only thing we can do work on ourselves and hope it makes a difference? Or do we have to get into activism, and if so, how? The most likely thing to work would be becoming an influencer with 20second clips that explain in simple words why we have to let children bump their head. And, ironically, to stop consuming 20 sec clips.
