Yesterday was a very lazy day in which I did mostly nothing. I mean I got up to check on Austin, stretched a bit and took care of our basic needs but that was about that. The storm had carried with it about 12-14 inches of snow and I was content to just be in my head all day. I must say at one point we did try to tackle Austin's Xbox but after a few hours of what felt like circles we gave up. Today all this computer stuff makes no sense.. being all connected seems to make life more complicated then when we got to choose when and who we talk to or even commerce with. I am still a bit confused seeing as for the last three years I have been basically for layman's terms sleep walking but it seems to me I have woke up in a world of the Matrix.. What happened to the good old days when you bought a game console you plugged it in and played it. Now you have to open accounts, give personal info, blood type and first born just so you can turn it on and use it. Oh and God forbid there is something wrong 2 hours emails to fix something that use to be fixed by a reset button on the side. I don't know about anyone else but that seems like more work to me. Why do they need so much from you.. consumer safety, marketing, updates, ect, Yuck , BS, yada yada yada.. more like invade my privacy and take up my time so my kid can play your game..that even though I bought it I cant just play it. Madness and I thought I had lost my mind while I was sick. Maybe I was in the better place all along..
Today's insight.. If it wasn't broke in the first place don't fix it and sometimes what we think are advancements in civilization are really loses of our liberties in disguise...
Today I commit to unplugging myself from the Matrix from time to time to see what the Hell is really going on here in my own life and on Planet Earth!!!!!
Think everyone should have one day a week to un-connect from multimedia, un-wind from the stress of needing to "get back with someone right away", un-plug from the cords that bind us to our devices! Look to reconnect with those you love! Feel the wind in our face as we venture outside again to see nature - and plug back into who we are - and always remember - that to keep in our hearts what we have heard from the beginning! If what we hear from the first dwells and remains in us , then we will dwell in the Son and in the Father always!! We let "Thing" take away that voice - and we lose it…take the time to get it back…..Thanks for sharing J!!!!
