It’s interesting how we think we’re choosing freedom by avoiding responsibilities like family, yet many of us slowly end up trapped in a kind of emotional isolation we never planned for. I see it in my own daily habits too everything is convenient, but somehow less meaningful. Your point about the gap between how quickly culture changes and how slowly humans evolve really hits home. We’re built for connection, but the world keeps pushing us into private bubbles. It makes me wonder what kind of future we’re shaping without realising it.
I reckon most of what shapes the world wasn't originally intended to do so, it just happened that way. We focus on the big events in life, but the things that make the most impact, slide by largely unnoticed.
