Instant World Breeds Contempt

How many people do you notice who when in a rush become angered by things that they have no control over, like an automatic door that will open in a set time, or a traffic jam, or someone walking too slowly.. it comes all from having a instant world, where we can say what we like, do what we like, right now, instantly, without regard for others. Such an instant world breeds contempt, for one’s self and for the fundamentals of human interaction and the natural world.

Having everything now destroys our natural understanding of cycles and change as we become deluged by institutionalised anxiety through the medium of advertsing, TV and other forms of immediate communication.

This creates and propagates the instant and immediate, anxiety that has become forced into a social structure becomes group behaviour.

But its not real, there is no instant world, it comes from anxiety and fear.

Look beneath it all and you find a simpler, kinder, slower world where your anxiety starts to heal and you start learning about who you are.

Stop. Slow down. Listen to the shrill whine of this instant world and you soon begin to understand that really it is a cry for help.

If we start with ourselves, all things are possible.
