Well I’m definitely not doing very well on posting daily but I’m not giving up yet.  Man habits can be hard to form sometimes.  I was talking with someone the other day and they said something that really stuck with me. They were talking about how they were trying to connect more with people through conversation and how hard it is to create a genuine conversation when you know so little about this person. They said I’m a very selfish person. I definitely don’t think this person is selfish, I’ve seen them often give their time and money to others freely.  But they were explaining how selfish they were because their thoughts were so often on themselves, what do they need to get done, what would they like to do tomorrow, what were they needing to get done at work, etc. This was partly what they believed made it difficult to have genuine conversations with others. I’ve always been an introvert, but this really hit me because I realized I’m exactly the same way. My thoughts are almost solely about myself and my interests.  If I were to spend more time thinking of others I truly think I would be more eager to reach out to others and it wouldn’t be something that made me uncomfortable or something I try to avoid. Anyhow. Thank you individual for your simple words of wisdom. 🌟 Friendships

I don’t know if it’s part of the new year spirit or what but today was a good day. Our whole family cleaned the kitchen and it felt really nice. Got us all out of stagnant states. Everyone worked without complaining and there was just something nice about working together instead of lying around and wanting to be alone. It’s funny how things like this happen. You do some good and you realize, wow this is nice, and then the next opportunity comes to do something good and you whine and complain. I know there’s probably some science behind it whether it’s human nature or the devil’s temptations we need to overcome it if we want to be happy in the long run.

Ok. Day 2. So far so good.  I didn’t know if I wanted to post about this today because it seems so unimportant but that’s just part of the process I guess. It’s just about expressing thoughts. So another goal with these posts is to do them with 0 AI. Maybe it’s just me because it seems so simple but every day AI becomes more relevant and the more I see people using it for every single task. I do have a fear that a very large part of society will become almost completely dependent on AI. I definitely use it. It does such an excellent job with so many things and is such a great tool. Opening the door and making things possible for people that just weren’t possible before. But because it’s so helpful we turn to it too often and our mental muscles become weak because they don’t need to do anything. I might be overthinking it as well. I know when the Internet was first introduced there were similar fears. Humanity does an amazing job at adapting. I do believe AI will cause more good than bad but I fear it will elevate a small percentage and be a detriment to a large percentage because they’ll be comfortable just being on the ride. Life will be easier for these people so in some ways it will still be good but I also believe a large part of happiness is purpose and I feel many will lose purpose.  I’m not afraid of it but I also don’t want to be dependent on it.
