“Device for triggering self reflection”
Not many people are asking themselves this question. for some, it is even absurd. And it is, depending on what perspective you are observing it. But in uncertain times like today, maybe it is crucial to ask.
Who am I? What is my mind identifying with? Am I responsible for my suffering by identifying myself with being a victim? Are my thoughts mine? What are my core believes? Are they accurate for the moment I am living?
How does my living affect my surroundings and do I harm something or someone? Am I thinking and acting for the greater good? Am I aware of the way I am reacting on things? Do I have a choice on how do I react on things? Am I aware of my feelings? Are those feelings mine?
This pandemic shows us, how individual action is affecting the social life/health of others. Therefore, in what world would we live if the individuals are self critical and would reflect on themselves first, before making an action or reaction to its surrounding?"
