I do not ‘get’ these terms- ‘Guided Meditation’, ‘Detox Diet’, ‘Art of Living’, ‘Silent Retreat’ Blah, Blah, Bah! You get my drift? Have you ever seen a cow sit cross legged in a corner and go Ohm mm to calm its mind and meditate? With a bull guiding it? Has a bird ever gone silent, retreating from the woods to take a break from its world? And when did living become an Art- it is pure science people- art is for the galleries, art is for nature, art is for artists but living, breathing – all science! People would be less inclined to seek solace from their daily lives if they chose to live scientifically in some parts at least – eat right, speak right and live right…
Use things the way they were meant to be used – a phone was invented as a connection device – with the first hello you listened to and connected with a HUMAN! Now the phone is a camera because we are too busy to see but can only store and impress our friends later, it is a book of messages on Whatsapp – yes people, you read that right! Compile all those daily messages and you could have published a book if you didn’t waste time writing and responding to crap. It is a recording device to leave messages rather than just dial and talk- curse that microphone icon that tempts us into laziness…
The machines have taken over- and their shape is HUMAN!!!
