Things in today's society that bother me
Hello everyone in the Weekend Experiences Community, happy Easter,today I join the weekend initiative to write about the aspects of today's society that bother me, there are actually many things that bother me, so much so that I had to write a summary because I could write a thick book if I wanted to 😅, I must sound bitter, but there are many things that bother me and I try every day to be able to live with these things because the worst of all is that I am alone I can't change them, I hope it's entertaining for you to read me until the end 😄.
The speed
It is true that today, thanks to technological progress, we have access to information and the possible solution of many problems quickly, especially the area of communication is really important because it allows us to connect immediately to any part of the world to access any necessary information for many purposes, it is really easy to know what is happening in Ukraine at the moment, as well as for the world to find out that in my country Venezuela we are experiencing a great economic crisis and practically an exodus of citizens to other countries, without However, this speed has also brought consequences in other aspects, one of them is that in the same way that information arrives quickly, it is quickly forgotten, every day a piece of news or information goes viral but the next day it is forgotten when another one goes viral. makes it equally viral, the same media know it and take advantage of this, even the creators of independent content take advantage of the viral topic to achieve visits and followers but the next day they take advantage of another topic, there is even an insatiable search for topic updates to go viral but never seek a solution to the previous problem, the page is turned, the information is forgotten and forgotten, it does not matter to seek solutions or develop empathy that goes beyond the emotion of the moment.
Lack of empathy
The speed with which information spreads, as well as the easy access to communication with others, should favor empathy, but I see that in a certain way it is not like that, although many people use the media to help each other, for the most part of the people who do not use help methods, the news only seems sad to them and now, since it does not directly affect them, they do not worry, before when the Internet was not what it is now, many people did not help others because they did not know found out about the needs or problems of others, however today many people decide to ignore the needs of others because they are not their own problem, it is like a song by a babda called Nom Servium that says "it seems sad but since it is not you it is one less problem on your head.” I am annoyed by the society that is mostly hypocritical, but still I feel grateful for the people that if they use the speed of information to do good, it is a smaller percentage but still valuable.
Impatience
The importance of appearance
Last but not least, something that bothers me about today's society is the great value it places on appearance, this is valid for anything, for example a person must appear to be happy while being unhappy, a restaurant must appear to be good with a nice aesthetic but they don't care about food, an artist is more known for their appearance or their exposure through networks than for their artistic work, people even look for a partner for their appearance even if deep down they are bad people, people spend money to look good but do not treat their illnesses and internal problems, all this extreme value that is given to appearance is something very harmful to me and is what makes so many people mentally ill, you have to try not to give so much importance to appearances to find peace and happiness, everything must have a balance, appearance is important but it should not weigh more than everything else, the current imbalance is so great that there are even people who think that because a person looks good he can't be a criminal 🤦♀️, that's why I think it would be better for people to be less guided by appearances and prejudices about this.
You are so right about everything, social networks and technology as well as bringing wellbeing have also ended with many aspects that made us human.
Thanks for your comments 🤗
Irene, it is true that there are many bad things around us. However, when I think about this it gives me great comfort to think that we are also in the best time humanity has ever lived. Hundreds of years ago it was normal to run over anyone because they had no rights and were almost considered an animal. Now people are still mistreated, it is true. But we have some rights that we can claim. And there is this medium that allows us to be in contact, to denounce and to let off steam. Thanks for the publication @irenenavarroart.

we must use the tools we now have for good 🙂 Thank you very much for your comment. Best regards
