The author sharply observes the behaviour of city citizens.
Like spoilt children they behave ‘blasé’ and cool. They do their utmost to give
the impression they can never get impressed by anything. This leads to a kind
of numbness and a kind of despair. If everyone performs the impossible to get
recognition and nobody is prepared to give anyone else recognition, this leads
to a society full of desperate losers. Moreover people tend to seek their
happiness in material meaningless differences yet at the same time they can
never be happy and remain restless after any material achievement, which happens to be temporary by nature.
Looking for unique experiences, we will always fail if we
don't allow the resonant spaces in between the races we run daily. Always
looking for news on our smartphone, we succeed in killing every authentic
experience. Believing everything should be reachable and feasible, we fail in
being grateful for anything achieved. If something goes wrong and proves to be
unfeasible, we blame other people, we always find someone guilty and someone to
be liable for today’s imperfections of society.
A book worth reading for all people interested in understanding the signs of our times.
I refer to my blogs Disaster
and Sin and The
Thin Grey Line between the Feasible and the Unfeasible.
