Take a pause. Notice what is going on around you. How often do you do that? How often do you miss the beauty in your surroundings?
We have been forced to function and respond to the world at a speed the past generations would probably not be able to follow. We try to keep up with technology to catch up with times. Still, information overload is more likely to lead us into a stagnant mode.
How long are you able to stay away from your phone without checking it one single time? How long can you keep yourself offline?
Modern society is addicted to consumption. Do you choose what you see? Or does a binary sequence of codes does that for you? Do you see yourself so binary? Have you ever questioned what lies beyond that binary?
At what moment did you allow your right to choose to be taken from you?
Take a pause. Look up for a second. Pay attention to the real world. You are not alone.
Surround yourself with art. Learn from art. Make art. Choose art.
Breath.

“Beauty is, in some way, boring. Even if its concept changes through the ages… a beautiful object must always follow certain rules. A beautiful nose shouldn’t be longer than that or shorter than that, on the contrary, an ugly nose can be as long as the one of Pinocchio, or as big as the trunk of an elephant, or like the beak of an eagle, and so ugliness is unpredictable, and offers an infinite range of possibility. Beauty is finite, ugliness is infinite like God.”
Umberto Eco, On Ugliness

“Social media gives legions of idiots the right to speak when they once only spoke at a bar after a glass of wine, without harming the community. Then they were quickly silenced, but now they have the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner. It’s the invasion of the idiots.”
Umberto Eco
