Human mind has always been restless - but it has become more restless after Industrial Revolution. In this context I want to post a part from my article which examines the impact of Speed, Overstimulation, Consumerism and Industrialization on our minds and environment. Please read.<BR/><BR/><B>The link between Mind and Social / Environmental-Issues.</B> <BR/><BR/>The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked. Our Minds cannot be peaceful when attention-spans are down to nanoseconds, microseconds and milliseconds. Our Minds cannot be peaceful if we destroy Nature. <BR/><BR/><B>Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment.</B> <BR/><BR/>Subject : In a fast society slow emotions become extinct. <BR/>Subject : A thinking mind cannot feel. <BR/>Subject : Scientific/ Industrial/ Financial thinking destroys the planet. <BR/>Subject : Environment can never be saved as long as cities exist. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Emotion is what we experience during gaps in our thinking. <BR/><BR/>If there are no gaps there is no emotion. <BR/><BR/>Today people are thinking all the time and are mistaking thought (words/ language) for emotion. <BR/><BR/>When society switches-over from physical work (agriculture) to mental work (scientific/ industrial/ financial/ fast visuals/ fast words ) the speed of thinking keeps on accelerating and the gaps between thinking go on decreasing. <BR/><BR/>There comes a time when there are almost no gaps. <BR/><BR/>People become incapable of experiencing/ tolerating gaps. <BR/><BR/>Emotion ends. <BR/><BR/>Man becomes machine. <BR/><BR/><BR/>A society that speeds up mentally experiences every mental slowing-down as Depression / Anxiety. <BR/><BR/>A ( travelling )society that speeds up physically experiences every physical slowing-down as Depression / Anxiety. <BR/><BR/>A society that entertains itself daily experiences every non-entertaining moment as Depression / Anxiety. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Fast visuals/ words make slow emotions extinct. <BR/><BR/>Scientific/ Industrial/ Financial thinking destroys emotional circuits. <BR/><BR/>A fast (large) society cannot feel pain / remorse / empathy. <BR/><BR/>A fast (large) society will always be cruel to Animals/ Trees/ Air/ Water/ Land and to Itself. <BR/><BR/><BR/>To read the complete article please follow any of these links : <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.planetsave.com/ps_mambo/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,75/func,view/id,68/catid,6" REL="nofollow">PlanetSave</A> <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.freeinfosociety.com/wforum/viewtopic.php?t=3649" REL="nofollow">FreeInfoSociety</A> <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.ephilosopher.com/bb-topic-244.html" REL="nofollow">ePhilosopher</A> <BR/><BR/>sushil_yadavAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29100128.post-66780181722828549692007-04-27T20:44:00.000+10:002007-04-27T20:44:00.000+10:00People typically seem to make that which is simple...People typically seem to make that which is simple into something that is complex, Coffee.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02798600572745255535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29100128.post-70522130945198770392007-04-27T20:27:00.000+10:002007-04-27T20:27:00.000+10:00Nicely done and really that simple!I'm amazed at t...Nicely done and really that simple!<BR/><BR/>I'm amazed at those who fight the concept or deny it! ; (Coffee Messiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16908162048706236634noreply@blogger.com
