There is a pain in life when we have people who love us, but in their conditions. What a waste of energy when love is intertwined with control.
How can they not see the beauty in the expansive feeling of love that lights up like a golden light within, and where you feel like the whole universe is within you — peace floods your head and life in every cell of your body. How beautiful it is to feel such love.
Instead, humans make it all complicated with control, obsession, conditioning and call it love, which feels more like death than life. Feels like being trapped inside a cave with no breathe and your limbs giving up on life.
Why would someone who loves you put you through that horrible feeling, which they call love, when they can otherwise give you the most precious on earth?
Will they ever realize how hurtful their expression of love has been?

With the speed AI is accelerating, and the speed we are expected to improve at work feels like a gap impossible to achieve.
I have never been a high competitive person, but I do enjoy doing my work to the best of my abilities.
However the pressure being put on employees by the management to be “high-performing using AI” seems to create that burnout feel in me.
To be totally honest, I have been slower than everyone else in learning how to work with AI and create agents to improve processes. But I’m catching up now.
But for some reason the push to improve and catch up feels unnatural. I’m not sure if I’m being the person who fails to move from the typewriter era to computer era. Or if I have reached a phase where I feel like I’m done with “technology” and want to downshift to a slower lifestyle.
Anyone else have had similar thoughts and made sense of it?
