Do these times not till the soil to plant seeds of reassurance?
The digital disruption has unleashed the worst of human
nature and created levels of illusion and delusion and detachment never before
experienced.
Never have people been so compelled and even coerced to look
happier.
Never have people felt so lost and alone.
A pandemic of digital detachment has left us isolated from
reality and each other.
Never have we had such opportunity for connection and
communication. Never have our
connections and communication been so shallow and superficial.
We have created a societal sham when we need substance; we
stand on shifting sand of fads and trends when we need foundations secure and
solid. The fog of the superficial hides
the substance. The glare of the shallow
blinds us to solid reality.
The beauty of the superficial and shallow is that they are
only smoke and illusion; if we wish we can readily dissipate them with a mere wave
of the hand of insight and understanding.
Our digital delusions and marketing manipulations have left
us hungering for the reliable and reassuring.
The same web that drives our hunger for consumptive purchasing can
instead communicate a message that fills, fulfills, satisfies, and
reassures. Somewhere someone wants to
see. It is time to shine the Light and
dissipate the fog.
Pass it on.Copyright 2017 Don Ray
