We read continuously while surfing the internet, about various self-help motivational information to help put our minds in the right perspective, or so we think, over our predominating situations. We run to Google for answers, information, tips, so on and so forth. But there is something else to it. What does Google know about your ‘particular’ situation? What does Google know about you…personally? How ‘accurate’ are the answers to your questions from Google?
Very often we read…ten ways to do…things you’re looking for, or fifteen ways or sixteen ways to do things for the first time, and likewise so much more information that has been hashed and revised over and over again by different writers. So here’s the question…how well do you think this sort of information really works for you…personally?? Do you get that in-depth ‘personalized’ solution to your issues? Are you comfortable with details offered by Google or do you have to continue to ‘look’ elsewhere for ‘further’ information?
There are times when, even through in-depth research on your ‘particular topic of interest’, you don’t always get what you’re specifically looking for. This only implies that Google cannot fulfil that in-depth satisfactory ‘answer’ you’re so desperately looking for, or want or need. You only get ‘general’ information from private or personal blogs, writeups, newsletters, and many more similar individualistic experiences. Nothing really related to your ‘specific question’.
The internet as we know it, cannot fulfil our desire to ‘understand ourselves’. That is something you have to work on yourself as an individual. No matter how much you read and understand information provided out there on the net, that specific deep desire to ‘trust your instinct’ and to completely ‘comprehend’ the significance of your ‘situation’, is something you have to do in the quietude and silence of your mind. The internet is only a guideline and points you in different directions, allowing you to choose the option that is ‘closest’ to your circumstances, but NOT your situation. Nothing works if you don’t put technology aside and deeply understand what it is you’re ‘looking’ for, in calm serenity.
As much as we are technology-dependent, technology-detox must be slowly ingrained into your daily or regular lifestyle, so that sooner, rather than later, you begin to comprehend the value of not only ‘your’ existence, but also of those around you, in all simplicity. You eventually realize that humanity, in all its ‘colorful lunacy’ has more ‘human’ significance and ‘value’ than materialistic technology that has ‘forced’ the world to depend on in ‘robotic’ solitude. Getting in touch with nature through long and calm cool walks, or simple conversations with acquaintances – known and / or unknown, calm and silent observance of visual situations, do play a silent major role in life. So think about it when you read Google for information. How ‘satisfied’ are you with the Internet??
