Joy!

What is the thing that we think we need every single day, to keep us going, to keep us calm and collective, to keep us fresh, to keep us from worrying?

Hello again, The Earthian here.

Well, I'm talking about entertainment, if it isn't obvious enough already. We just need to get entertained, someway or the other. And there are almost no bounds to what we do to get us some sort of entertainment.
To start off, let's talk about social media. Social media is one the best inventions of all time. It's role is to bring people together which it has done extensively well! It has connected members of family and friends all around the world and it has enabled them to stay in touch for as long as they want to. Hell, it has even allowed people who don't know each other to meet and greet! Which, in my opinion, is absolutely astounding. We can talk to people from almost any country if and when we want to.
Well, there are roles for people to play in order to make it work, but I think you get the picture.

Unfortunately, out of all the goodness it has brought, people only want to find the loop holes which they can tweak to give themselves a "better kind of entertainment". Uniqueness is getting reduced day by day. As you can see the number of people who create interesting and funny things is way lower than the number of people who give themselves pleasure by sharing it. Note, I'm not telling sharing is bad. It's good. I'm only saying sharing content along with a purpose is better. Because, entertainment, is not a purpose. It's not a cause to live for. It's not a reason to validate life. Just understand this. Entertainment < Purpose.
There is always a greater picture that is dying to get painted by non other than you. The picture of your life. Don't waste your time painting someone else's, tarnishing yours.

This is not a topic that can be covered in a single day. I've broken it into bits and bobs so I can elaborate.

Have a great day. Peace.
