RE: Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
This is a thorough and wondefully illustrated treatment of the issue at hand. Putting the issue of the price of Steem aside, which causes anxiety for obvious economic reasons, the whole idea of the generational gap widenign up when it comes to entitlement, the concept of time and driving vs being in the back seat, is fascinating.
I guess it has become very hard to reconcile a society driven by immediacy and fast-paced tech advancements with hard work values (there is a time for this, and there is a time for that, and then there is a time for just waiting); it feels like we don't have time to lose because everything piles up pretty quickly.
We see this is the very dynamic of interaction in Steemit. How many posts can we possibly read, comment, upvote? In how many discord channels can we be active? How long can we be connected? Can we still live life as we are supposed to (family, friends, nature)?
Many at some point have to pause and rewind (if that's a possibility), get off the train and walk, maybe.
Time off for breathing and contemplation? for real planning and more assertive actions?
yet, where we spend the majority of our time is consuming information that has very little nutritional value.
This is why we should be much pickier with what and who we spend our time in my opinion.
people think that where they are going is more important than what they do along the way to get there. If we aren't where we want to be, there is nothing of value to see. It goes against everything that has ever been taught about the journey, not the destination.
