Self-awareness

Just read this article written by Mark Manson.  He sums up a few things I spoke of yesterday about noticing and self awareness. He articulates it well.  Great food for thought and one to bookmark and come back to later

Something else I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is how do we hold ourselves to a better standard in the way we treat each other?

I feel quite disheartened at noticing over the past few years how we have lowered our standards of holding ourselves to account in how we treat our fellow humans.  Sure there are always going to be people who for various reasons are not very respectful or pleasant towards others, but I’m seeing an increase in this behaviour becoming the norm rather than the exception. I think this has been escalated significantly by social media. The pandemic probably just added fuel to that fire rather than being the cause.

I think this topic could turn into a really long essay so I’m going to stop there and maybe revisit it over a few blog posts.
