Hi jaynie@jaynie, been thinking a lot about you as of late... sending you love and healing vibes through the ethers. Hope you're coping OK...

But yes... as I see it, the instantanousness of what we are served up in a way has turned life into something akin to a video game. In olden times — when information was slow — we had time to process what we heard, and then reflect on a course of action before taking it. Now? It feels more like the "prizes" in life go to those who have the fastest reactions *(LIKE a video game) and those who pause to reflect are left behind in a cloud of dust.

And so, we tend to end up with this very reactionary world in which people act on instinct and then end up regretting and retracting... except, of course, killing someone isn't "retractable..."
