There Was A Time Before Algorithms

I know it’s going to sound strange but there was a time before algorithm Where we basically made our own decisions Yes it sounds like we were out of rhythm But actually we got to use our brains People met each other offline It was a fun time Of-course there was no offline because there was no online The only thing online was our brains Now of-course our brains are offline our phones are online Not that there is much of a difference between our phones and our brains Haven’t you seen you go to sleep around the same time you leave your phone alone Can’t function unless you are one with your phone So if your phone is your brain Then what will your brain do? Anyway people met and spoke and determined if they would meet again At an actual location, mostly outdoors, when the weather was right And you couldn’t just unsubscribe at the bottom of the email You had to have a tough real conversation Or r...

Love?

The world understands love as dating and owning each other, having a person. Getting married to another person and all that jazz. Love in this way is someone that I will be jealous over.

If you love each other naturally you won’t hurt each other. However when there is contempt for each other we will hurt each other and then we will set boundaries. Boundaries are not a natural part of our relationships. They are like borders, they are created because we have been hurt. They are created out of fear. When you become aware that someone can hurt you, you have to create a border / a boundary so that they do not hurt you. Living in boundaries is limited. Rather live in love. We force ourselves into relationships that require boundaries as we have come to understand relationship as synonymous with conflict.

Do you want to be in love or ...
