#Nostr Log Day 53:

We put too much weight on our thoughts in written word. Not everyone is a novelist. Our representations of thoughts and feelings barely get through in person with spoken word. More so in actions.

In the age of information, we would like to belive that we're are concise and to the point, with the ability to convey pur words across borders, nations, land masses, the globe.

Yet we run into meandering. Language barriers. Editing mistakes. Fast response and lack of needed introspection. Always ready to responde rather than absorb. Onward to the next note or argumentative point.

What's wonderful on #nostr is I can disagree with a take from someone, pass it by, and 15 minutes later be boosting the same person's next insight I find useful.

Many succumb to the need to prove points and make themselves heard. Even on spaces that far exceed the speed at which it is healthy for a human to ingest information, absorb it, and integrate it into their own understandings.

Meanwhile as the truly cautious and philosophical, would be builders and thinkers of society are steamrolled by pace of technology, those with alterior motives, and exponential progress. We are encouraged to be angry and entrenched.

In this bastion of free speech and lightning fast exchange of haphazard, ill informed and unfinished thoughts. It's hard to find what you truly believe in. Try and focus it down to a select few things. And disregard the rest of the distraction trying to steal your time, computational resource and integrity.

There are those who seek to ruffle you.

That is a job for your significant other, partner, spouse, close friend. The ones that truly should be privy to all of yourself. Your best and worst.

Don't allow the meandering online troll to distract you from your real problems and add to them.

Embrace the ones online who make you smile.
