Hey guys !!! Swaddy here, and I wanted to tell you all about the ironies of our own world and how we can be the change.
So, you know Albert Einstein famously remarked in a conversation with Werner Heisenberg. He said, “you know in the west we’ve built a beautiful ship and it has all the comforts but actually the one thing that it doesn't have is a compass and that's why it doesn't know where it's going.”

This paradox of our times was propounded by Dalai Lama when he said “we have wider free ways but narrower view points, we have taller buildings but shorter tempers.”
Will Smith said that “we spend money we haven’t earned on things we don't need to impress people we don't like.” And it's phenomenal how the same technology that brings us close to those who are far away and takes us far away from the people that are actually Close.
30 billion Whatsapp messages are sent per day but 48% of people say that they feel lonely. In general, the paradox of our times is that we have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge but less judgment, more experts and less Solutions.
Different ironies of this world:
It was Martin Luther King who said that “the irony of our time is that we have guided missiles but misguided men.” Have you ever found it perplexing that we've been all the way to the moon and back but we struggle to start a conversation across the road or across the train and it's amazing that Bill Gates was known as the top earner in 2015 with a wealth of 79.2 billion, but one in 14 years claim to be struggling from depression.
Important question :
Do we actually thrive of this paradox? Its that paradox what actually makes the media interesting and it makes the journalism interesting and its what makes politics interesting as well as its all what makes television interesting.
Its this paradox actually what we feed often, what we live often and what we talk about discussing our circle.
Doesn’t it seem that we've tried to clean the air but polluted our souls, we've split the atom but not our prejudice. We’re aiming for higher incomes but we have lower morals.
Solution:
So, I am here when you ask how do we bring a change or how do we disect this paradox that exist in our life’s and it starts by us or by each of us pressing a “pause” or by pressing reset and then pressing play again taking a moment to become more conscious, taking a moment to become more aware, taking a moment to really reflect on the consequence of the implications of a misplaced word of an unnecessary argument.
We all know we don't need to have or to speak to someone just slightly differently in a different tone and a different voice or in a different empathy with a different perspective just to really connect with people on a different level.
This thinking out loud style from Albert Einstein in an old track backed to him when he actually said that “the problems we have today can't be solved with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
So, actually we need to research alternative teachings we need to deep down dig into those ancient books of wisdom. We need to go back to your understanding if there's anything written in those creased pages of time that can actually reveal more knowledge and more wisdom of how we can transform our experience of lights today.
Otherwise, this paradox means that every step forward we take will take us 3 backwards every time.
I really want you to get involved in this conversation in this dialogue as we think out loud together about our mind in this world so please follow me today to look forward in joining me.
