You live in a World where the visual dominates, physicality is the only definition of reality, and the suffering that plagues you most is only that of your own internal thoughts.
The World has gone mad as we have all become entrapped within our heads.
The tools you use for your own liberation acting against you and pinning you down likened to an auto-immune disease yet instead of affecting your physical health your mental health is the one in decline.
If the mind is blind the eyes are useless.
You have much less social interaction and contact than the prior generation and this is growing with every decade as you descend into the technological age of smartphones and social media.
The social interactions you maintain continue to dwindle in their value and authenticity.
You are becoming so concerned with your image in the eyes of others that conformity to the perceived ideal has dominated over personal uniqueness and experience.
Most of the social interaction you do partake intakes course over the internet, the experience of which only exists within your head.
When you meditate you are no longer trapped within your head, your thought’s begin to quiet down and the usual cross-chatter that fills the inaudible recesses to the back of your Awareness.
You are no longer concerned about what might happen tomorrow, you no longer care whether someone likes you or not.
You are not plagued with the worries of your day, you are only in one place at that moment and that is meditating. You use meditating to pull you out of your mental prison.
We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity; more than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. – Charlie Chaplin
