Don't be distracted ! Free your mind !

We're so distracted. Our time is the most valuable asset we have. It's limited. So, why to waste it for nothing.

Nowadays we need to focus so much as we have never before.

So I would like to mention in this video everything that's stealing our time from us.

The system. Despite that we have to live in the system. Go to school, then university. Then to work. Pay taxes and bills. And build a family. Eat and buy products. We shouldn't allow this system to be considered the most important.

Especially things that are not naturally necessary, but those that are imposed by the system. We can go to school or university, but we shouldn't allow that to make us limited on what we learn there. We can work, but we shouldn't let that take most of our time. We should always find time to learn something new, or to improve our skills.

Social media also takes a lot of time from us. Political events, religious discussions, medicine and health, relationships and gender arguments, races and ethnicity.

And every aspect is creating two polar groups of people fighting each other to prove they are right and the other side is wrong. And that's even boosted more to create more division between people. Making them spend most of their time arguing. Forgetting about what matters for them more. Focusing on worthless discussions.

Political events aren't only created by chance. They are designed to play on our emotions. So, nationalism is used to boost the egoism of a group to make them fanatic about their nation and hate other nations. Didn't you notice that there are always two countries fighting? Most of them are neighbors. Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Palestine, Serbia and Kosovo, Azerbaijan-Armenia, China and Taiwan, India and Pakistan. And many other wars that I believe were created on purpose. That push people to emerge into negativity. So you find them blaming the other side for the war crimes of politicians they chose. And even justify the wat crimes of their own government. But the worse thing is that these people start hating people from the other countries, stop dealing with them, which creates more isolation. While the politicians themselves, who created those wars, keep in touch doing business and improving. While people lose the ground. This is how we are fooled. This how our ego and emotions are used to play with us. While we keep being distracted by even more things.

The same tactic is used when we talk about religious believes. I mean, how we deal with our health, vaccinate or not, wear a mask or not, what orientation we have, while this is too personal. And what race we are, skin color, or origin.

Don't you see the big picture ? Don't you understand what's going on ? How much content should be created to make you understand this ? While you are distracted fighting each other there are those on the top who gain more control, more wealth and impact on you. You make is easier to manipulate you. Are you a masochist ? Do you enjoy this ? Oh my god. Please, please think. Not with your heart, not with your emotions, not with your soul. Think using the brain. This is why you need it. Have a critical thinking and listen to those who don't agree with you on everything. Because even if you don't like a person who said something you don't agree with, such person can be right in something else. Or even make you change your mind for the better.

We're not trees, we can move. We're not a material, we can change.

Very true. So many people waste their whole lives fighting, arguing, complaining … being angry all the time. What a waste. I try to spend 99 % of my time out in nature, Off the Grid with my family and our Golden Retriever / Lola , … we go hiking, fishing, camping, kayaking, learning about the Universe… I share maybe 1% here on Blurt, Steemit , YouTube, Hive etc…. just to earn a little passive income to buy some essentials… food, gas, supplies etc … This Life we have here on Earth is a gift, we should enjoy our time here.
