In the 21st century there have been many changes in the way society behaves.

The one I would like to talk about this week is how easy is has become to connect with so many people digitally.

As you know UOU is full of light and positivity.

UOU was created to also be of use to you. Allow you to look within yourself and work on your happiness.


Whatever happiness and peace means to you.

Exercise:


Have a look at the connections you have with people digitally. Phone numbers to social platforms to even video game platforms.

You may have very little, hundreds and even thousands of connections.

But how many of those people have you conversed with?

How is your day? How have you found your year so far? How are you?

Do we ask these questions with the intent of purely human interaction?

Do we answer these very same questions with honesty?

I asked myself these very questions during year of 2020. The online world became the only world of human interaction for some of humanity.

Can we value the importance of kindness in the online world?

It is highly important to have meaningful conversations with people. We are become less caring of others in the digital world.

We seem to believe we are ‘there’ for each other in the online world but the majority say these words but do not act in these words.

One minute you see a quote; be kind to those who may be unkind to you.

Next minute the very same person slates a person for having an opinion different to theirs.


Our survival used to depend on having trusting relationships with the upmost grace and room for forgiveness. There seems to be now an increased need to feel we need to be something or be successful and this has hindered the ability for some to emotionally connect with others. On a humane level.

What happened to answering to ‘how are you’ with honesty?

Here are some confidential examples below:


I asked how are you? The replies were:


Good thanks.


I'm fine thanks and you?


I asked how are you? I've .... (elaborated saying how I felt on that day). The replies were:


I am doing okay, I lost my friend a couple months ago and I feel today was the first day I smiled. How about you? I hope you are doing well.


I am doing excellent! I finished a paper last night and I am so glad to see the end of it! Haha!

How about you? How are you?


Where has this culture of vague answers come from?

Congratulate each other more, say well done if someone feels great!

Do not shut people away because they are having negative thoughts, listen to them. Actively listen. Be a light in this world.

Go have some meaningful conversations.


A wealthy mindset is one that is humanly connected to the world but disconnected to the opinions of the world.

I will explain what I mean by this in next weeks post.

Lots of love

UOU

xoxo
