That isn’t as scary as it seems, when I say target, I don’t mean in a malicious way or dangerous way.
I mean in a “I know what is best for you ” sort of way. Everything( and perhaps everyone; if we’re really unlucky) in our lives is geared towards making you a better person. When did we start having to achieve something every minute of the day, not waste time, build a life , build a business and make our mark on the World?
I blame the Victorians and Social Media, the Victorians started it with a fervor for religious enlightenment and a moral justification for doing the “right thing” no matter how ridiculous. I mean how wrong they were on many of their ideas, putting women on a pedestal and then leaving them to rot in hovels , unloved and uncared for should their morals not fit the ideal.
Fast forward to Social Media and we have endless adverts and influencers on how to improve your life, learn Tai Chi, firm up your tummy muscles, improve your IQ and basically be the best you can be.
There are more” lecturers” than listeners and they are boring, because they go on and on. Sometimes thankfully with Social Media you can turn them off, but in “Education” you have to listen to them , even if they aren’t very good and there’s the rub, you don’t want to bore the young.
In summary, what bores me( and the young) is someone who thinks they know what’s best for me without bothering to understand me or my needs at all.
Namaste and Thank You for Reading. 🙏
