Lesson 190: The Experience of Group Thought...

When you are on the internet, do you feel more connected or sometimes feel the disconnection? Do you sometimes get angry and frustrated on it? Or do you feel quite happy? If you spend some time away from it, do you notice the difference in yourself? Do you actually feel better?

The experience of group thought can be both uplifting and distracting for me. I like being surrounded by people of the same interests. There are times when I can comment of things that sparks some discussion of opinion, or on the other end discussion, it goes against my values and things get heated. I would rather keep things positive in my life so I don’t usually go into arguments often, but that’s just the nature of the internet.

If I do take a break from social media or the internet, I would generally be filling my time with something more useful in my life. I would be learning, reading, socialising with friends or doing something towards my spirituality. I think I make good use of my time. I think I feel better being away from it because I’m not investing emotion into social media. It’s more relaxing to stay away from it than to be on it, sometimes. I think I would rather have experiences with people in real life than to keep it all online. The energy of people in real life is much better than what I get online. How about you?
