It's a wonderful fourth day that begins, well rested and in great shape. I am getting used to the constant hunger. At times, at regular times, a discussion is broadcast in Korean, at very low volume, through small speakers in the bedroom. The illusion is perfect. After analysis, it would seem to remind us of a semblance of a social relationship. It is true that for some time now, I have been scanning the horizon to find a living soul. The sun has not yet risen and I can see the silhouette of a makeshift companion in an adjoining room. How does he experience it? What are they all feeling? So many questions that push me to want to contact them and share this experience. We will have to wait another six days.
Fortunately, we are emerging from two years of confinement and active dehumanization with social distancing, the wearing of masks and all these pseudo "barrier" measures. Even if they are understandable, they mainly destroy the social bond and further fracture society. I find that human relations have changed, they no longer pass through the filter of benevolence, or even exacerbate hatred of the other. Hatred between communities, hatred between genders, hatred in sport, hatred on every street corner.
Even the relationships between women and men have changed. The great low tide of seduction is exacerbated by intellectual dryness and the ambient mediocrity. The "uberization" of the world has been underway for a few years and the nonsense decisions linked to this "pandemic" are an additional and almost daily illustration of this. Come to think of it, it was the appearance of the "smartphone" that was this catalyst for loneliness and radicalization of positions. Even if it brings knowledge, freedom of movement and to work from everywhere, to make good quality images for everyone, it also isolates people, young people, who forget to enjoy the present moment. How do they project themselves into the future if they are not aware of the present moment? The present is only a future that is past!
I remember a group of young people in Singapore. Four couples take their seats in a very nice place to have drinks. After a few seconds, they take out all their "smartphones" and record images, videos where they smile at the tempered glass of their phones. Their bovine gazes do not even meet, too busy to appear "cool" and connected on Instagram while they are not enjoying anything. This scene made me deeply sad. This loneliness is present everywhere, in all walks of life, and leads to the use of drugs, alcohol, and the search for extreme sensations.
These two paragraphs seem a bit long, but represent only a few milliseconds of brain thoughts. During this time, I continue to scrutinize the presence of humans in my limited landscape, but whose mystical light is conducive to meditation.
I also decided to give myself a moment of deep meditation in the morning in order to enter my professional world and in the evening in order to come out in harmony and be able to try to create. I do not hide either that this meditation helps me not to feel the ever-present hunger. T
