It scares me what interests people on social media today...
I am not even saying only the younger generation but even my generation responds to... crap. You could put a post up about something deep and thought provoking and it gets 10 likes and then you post a picture of an avocado and, 45 likes!? It is great that we all like the vision of health but Jesus, can't we do better than that? I've tested this out so many times, wondering does the world like mindless posts because they are too mindless, or is it because we are bombarded with too many stress inducing things that we don't have the energy or interest to grow, or think about growing our minds to concepts that are complex. I'm sure that its both of these and other distractions that keep us from diving deeper. When I look back at my life, I want to say I explored the world thru travel, through my spirituality, through my passions, not that I was obsessed with a famous person or only lived for surface level depth.Why I think it's frustrating is for a few reasons: I am trying to start a business that has a mission to being open to new concepts, it frustrates me when others can't see how much growth can enhance your life and lastly because it's kinda scary when I look at how we've been distracted by pop media, losing the experience in so many other joys we don't even know exist. Social culture interests me too, don't get me wrong I do follow it but thats not the only thing that I read about. Learning new things about people, places and things is exciting to me, I embrace that there is a whole world out there to get to know!
Meh. I guess thats why there are so few leaders, philosophers, and theologists of the world.
