About the 🌎

The world is increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn’t very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more?.
How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind.
To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business.

✍️ Matt Haig.

Thank you & Love to all

  15. Have been contemplating writing on this subject for some time. In a world meticulously crafted to sow discontent, your words resonate deeply. The truth laid bare is uncomfortable yet undeniable – our desires are skillfully manipulated to drive an insatiable economic machine. The quest for perpetual growth hinges on our perpetual dissatisfaction.

    Yet, amidst this manufactured chaos, a sobering realization emerges. We, the consumers, are not just passive victims of this orchestrated discontent; we are active participants. We willingly succumb to the whispers of inadequacy, perpetually chasing the next upgrade, the next enhancement, the next fix for our perceived flaws.
    Your poignant observations prompt introspection. It is we who fan the flames of our discontent, willingly surrendering to the allure of unattainable ideals. The commodification of our insecurities is a reflection of our collective weakness – the inability to find contentment in our unaltered, imperfect selves.

    Perhaps, in acknowledging our complicity, lies the seed of revolution. To resist the constant push for more, to find calm in simplicity, and to be content with our un-upgraded existence becomes an act of rebellion. It’s a conscious choice to reject the manufactured urgency to constantly improve, to upgrade, to consume.

    Your insight begs the question: What if we were to defy the narrative? What if we were to embrace gratitude for what we have, rather than resenting what we lack? It’s a paradigm shift – a shift from perpetual dissatisfaction to a mindful appreciation for the present.

    Let us, as individuals, challenge the status quo. Let us recognize that our pursuit of contentment need not be dictated by external forces. In choosing gratitude over complaint, we reclaim agency over our happiness. The power to disrupt the cycle of discontent lies within us, waiting to be awakened by the revolutionary act of being truly content with our imperfect, un-upgraded selves.

  25. You visited my site and left a nice message so I wanted to visit yours and look at your content. I just had Google translate this English and now I can read it!
    What this describes is market driven economies backed by huge conglomerates who have some measure of control on what we see (TV, news, internet, media in general) and then package their product attractively to the 5% who act on their gut impulses, and then that 5% gets to represent the ‘norm’ in societal circles by the clothes they wear, the food they eat, the medications they take, hell, even the vacations we should take.
    Don’t be woke, be yourself.
