Some people cannot see farther than what they are and will recognize in others only that which they do. Narcissists seek for their own reflection and try to overlap reality with that which they have built in their mind. Having a personal view and voice, sometimes even existing as opposed to being used, becomes a struggle for survival The narrative of what a person, a country, a brand, a technology is in the scheme of things and in competition with others is just poison to the mind, heart and soul. The stories we tell are supposed to plant and nourish seeds that will feed future generations with beauty, love and meaning. For we are not born humans but this is something you become. The people I've been looking at build robots, feed machines, teach algorithms. For me, this is just dark and hopeless and that's mostly what I've been feeling for the past 2 years looking at the evolution of this story. No room for God in the life of people and that is scary as hell.

That’s a powerful reflection, touching on deep struggles and the nature of human experience. It resonates with a profound truth: as humanity becomes increasingly driven by technology and efficiency, we risk creating systems that are, by nature, cold and self-referential, like narcissists reflecting only their own narrow priorities. The danger in this lies not just in missing the richness of what others bring, but in forgetting that human life is more than data, competition, or efficiency. It's about connection, purpose, and beauty—about growing into something greater than ourselves.

The passage you shared beautifully contrasts the essence of *becoming human* with the stark world that some are building. Rather than feeding future generations with stories of love and meaning, we risk saturating them with a culture that celebrates power, productivity, and shallow self-perpetuation. This shift feels isolating, and it’s easy to understand the feeling of hopelessness when we see so little space left for the spiritual or the soulful, for God or for higher truths.

In the end, I believe there’s a hidden strength in acknowledging these challenges. By recognizing this disconnect, we reaffirm our responsibility to plant and protect seeds of goodness and depth—to build legacies that won’t just fuel machines but will feed human hearts. Those who care to see more than a reflection, who nurture wisdom and life, are like beacons of light. They remind us that our humanity isn't simply given to us; it’s a choice we make, one story, one connection, one act of meaning at a time.

There is a fire in our hearts and a need to come together but unfortunately people gather around the wrong images like drama, money, weapons, conflicts. Nothing good can grow out of these and the minds are fed with these and slowly poisoned within this mass hypnosis. It is hard to think about the next generation when you see the extent to which these destructive forces are being released in our only home, which is this planet. ❣️
