Why Faster is a myth?
In today's culture we run like hamsters in their wheel.
Sure, we're proud our our success, we invented so many things and discovered so many others.But is it really good to go faster? In the market everything seems aligned to this concept. We get a pill, so our headache can go away quickly, then we do Yoga 1hr twice in a week, because that's good to wind down, then we've all our activities timeboxed and waiting for us. We don't care much why we got that headache in the first place, but that's fine. Now it's gone, who cares?
Hey! 5G is finally here, and of course now we can do our things even faster.
But there is a catch. Yes, there is always a catch.
One thing we tend to forget: the satisfaction of one desire breeds more in.
Really? Yes.
Is this why we keep on getting all these quick solutions around?
Are we getting these solutions because we run faster, or are we moving faster thanks to these solutions? Marketing says that "With this tool now you can finish the job in a fraction of time, so you can relax". Really? It doesn't seems so.
Yes, maybe we finish the job faster, but because we've so many other desires in the pipeline we're compelled to satisfy them.
Free will? Not a chance, try it.
Thoughts > Words > Actions. That is the sequence we follow.
First we grow ideas in our mind, then words and actions follow accordingly.
Good ideas promote good actions, but are the bad ones that creates the suffering.
It's always the false that creates all the suffering.
The hamster's wheel doesn't move if the hamster stay still.
So, these solutions, which are part of our culture, follow us.
Which means the world, is a reflection of our mind, not the other way round.
We create all this when we wake up every morning, because we keep on moving faster, and the wheel moves as faster as we do.
The problem with this is that unless we put a limit, or better, we reduce our desires, we'll keep on running even faster either because we've more desires to fulfill, or because we didn't fulfill the existing ones yet.
Desire (for pleasure), and fear (of pain) are the 2 legs that moves the wheel, but it doesn't have to be like that.
