Letting ourselves be surprised

We came into this world alone, and we leave alone. We may even leave accompanied by this reality, but each of us leaves alone. There's no doubt about that. Or there is little doubt.
As I've already reflected on, what really makes us different is how we do and let things happen in our lives. Each of us has an intrinsic human value.
From the outset, there is no being who ethically has more or less moral value than another being. What we can do is simply add some value. We can dignify our existence. There is nothing to subtract from the true miracle of life itself. In other words, we exist, and in our existence we live our main value.
What do we do with our greatest value?
I think it's not just life, but also time. This is in fact what conditions almost all the actions of almost all beings. Let time run its course, and in many thousands of years, even the glass in a window will become thicker at the bottom, due to the influence of gravity on this material that apparently behaves like a solid.
Just change the scale. We tend to always adjust what's happening to our scale. And we might even think that there are no major changes. But that may not be the case.
We are in this world to try to establish contact. And we are beings who, despite not being able to survive on our own, are led to believe that we can!
We believe that we must overcome our barriers. And it's normal that no one can overcome them for us. But without a connection to the outside world, it would be difficult to do so.
At a time when digitalization and the virtualization of contacts with other human beings is increasingly the norm, wouldn't it be important to reset and go back to basics? To look for what really makes us happy. Bring time back to our side. Don't let us be sold the idea that the immediate, effortless and alone is something that has to be done if we want to be happy.
A return to personal, face-to-face contact and trust in relationships with others can actually bring great benefits in terms of an increase in the degree of daily personal satisfaction, which can then make us surpass our best version yet.
Let ourselves be surprised by something that has been dormant for a long time inside our hearts. Let's not allow ourselves to fall asleep to ideas of distrust in the "other", and overvaluing our own values alone, without even showing respect for the values and rules of others. This doesn't mean that we don't stay true to ourselves.
I hope you enjoyed my little reflection for today.
See you tomorrow
Cheers🍀

It’s funny how things happen. People come into our lives for specific purposes and then they serve them and leave. An old friend of mine was in my life for a while because he’s the one that introduced me to my wife. Now I don’t talk to him for other reasons. It’s funny how things like that happen!
If we look closely, as you did in this particular situation, we can see in a very curious way how life unfolds. It is indeed a bit mysterious, the tortuous ways in which human social interactions take place. And looking at them in a way that puts them into perspective over time is even more interesting. Today, in my Gmail calendar, I've noted the birthday of a group of people who are celebrating their birth today. Of the four people, all of whom have been close to me in one way or another (work, studies, childhood friends), apart from a work colleague who I see more regularly, only one of them has seen me between their last two birthdays! And the other two, the only messages we exchanged were to congratulate them on their birthdays!
That's interesting!
In the beginning, we were beings that socialized to survive, we grouped in communities that became legions that built empires and the monument that is modernity.
Today, as we have transformed ourselves, we have distanced ourselves from each other by becoming peaceful in civilization. If union is strength, separation from the real world and the digital world weakens us as a unit.
Just like you mentioned. The distance that increased between us, make us more selfish, and more fragile. Strange times, that we are living, indeed.
Thank you so much for your comment, Neblo!
