It is peculiar how in our society we live shut inside out own minds. To this day in our world there are multiple worlds created by the use of technology, though all of these are closed away d to fear, fear of judgement and regret. This is why we live blind bumping around in the dark, hoping to bump into what we look for.Question is how long can we continue to use closed minds to hide our essence from this world, what are the repercussions? If we go back in history to the world wars, why were they started? People talk about it's inevitability, how two people who are different will always end up subjugating one another, but I cant help to think how that is wrong in my eyes. Let us take an example: Say if you were to take an hour of your life to comprehend all that is around you, you might find that there is more to our every day life than meets the eye. Look at your fan and just observe how so many people must of held it before reaching you, think about the man who created it, the worker that crafted it, his boss, the boss's kids, the kids friend etc. There is so much history and ideas that surround us, i find it so hard to understand how we just blindly walk around as if it weren't there, as if it was just naturally given to us as a gift and not the result of blood sweat and tears. Maybe if we just looked around and saw it for more that just a fan it could help us understand how the world is. If we understand people and the world through this than there can not be any more wars, people fight due to lack of understanding.
On looking seems to really empathize this idea, n
ot the stopping war, but the idea of observing and paying attention to everything we do and don't do in our every day lives. That crack on the street, the mailman and the car that must 've almost hit you is part of a bigger imagine. The problem is that you can focus on both, to pay attention to one thing involves you ignoring rest of the world while you dedidcate yourself exclusively to that as if it was normal. If we observe just one thing we miss out on the rest, we cant just focus on both at once. Though I believe we can take turns n it, every day seeing something new in our monotonous life.
Going to the original idea, I had mentioned technology, I think it has become potential bridge to the minds of people, people who want to be observed and understood. I think that the reason the author wrote this is to show us how many details we miss on a daily life, it is slowly teaching us how to take control of the most
important part of us, our life.
I see what you mean when you say we can't focus on two things at once. Even basic multitasking takes away part of each activity, so you still don't have the whole picture.
When you said: "I had mentioned technology, I think it has become potential bridge to the minds of people, people who want to be observed and understood." I believe that sometimes people can actually use technology to pay more attention. In the post that I wrote I mentioned how we should drop our phones and pay attention to our surroundings, but now I think that there is more to paying attention than what we can see around us, that's the tip of the iceberg, lots more under the surface. We can sometimes use technology to see beyond what is in our reach, to pay attention to multiple things around the world and to investigate and dig deeper.
I think it would work if instead of walking around doing our own business, focusing at the smallest of things (which can be dangerous), we would just sit down every once in a while and simply look our surroundings and the things that happen around.
