Real change starts with me.
When I choose not to pause and reflect on my relentless pursuit of busyness……..
Instead, I drown myself in more work, further disconnecting from my inner self and from my own humanity.
When I choose not to sit with the difficult feelings that make me feel vulnerable………
Instead, I numb myself with digital distractions and stuff down the discomfort with the toxic sweetness of comfort eating.
We have forgotten what it means to be human, having reduced ourselves to little more than money-making machines.
When we can no longer feel our own emotions, how can we possibly feel empathy for others?
When we disconnect from our own hearts—replacing compassion with intellectualization and justification—it becomes easy to rationalize our cold-bloodedness and cruelty as mere necessity.
As adults, what lessons are we imparting to our children about becoming human?
Will they learn to be warm, gentle, respectful, and kind?
Or will they simply learn to intellectualize and rationalize their way through every situation, guided by the mantra of 'shoot them down and kill them all' from the PC games they are hooked on?
Real change starts with me.
