People are never alone with their thoughts anymore. No wonder the world is what it is. I try to avoid having railway-thoughts as much as I can. All kinds of media hijacked our thoughts and that’s where most of our stress comes from. There is no time to understand or develop yourself, let alone comprehend your surroundings. And it’s impossible to see the big picture if you’re only staring at a few pixels. Your subconsciousness ends up running the show when your consciousness is not present. The monkeys are in charge while we are away inside screens. This is not a new insight but worth repeating, if only to myself. Turn everything off and be bored once in a while! Reclaim your thoughts!
