Love Chaos

 

You can ask anyone you meet in space about Earth and they all say the same thing, "Beautiful to visit but I wouldn't want to live there".  They might say, "Earth is the best",  but nobody says that now and if you meet another traveler from the planet it's customary to share a drink at space dock. Where we all agree that Earth is just the worst.

For those humans still living on Earth, they agree. On my last visit home everyone said, "People are so mean now, people are so stressful". As human beings we're experiencing an epidemic of compassion fatigue. Since the Covid 19 Pandemic hit we've been living under a new level of stress that we didn't grow up with, now we are trying to adapt. Adaptation is hard. Humans get stuck in their ways, and stuck in their heads thinking. 

Nothing gets better unless we get better

We are all the problem

I have a lot of time traveling through space and I'm beginning to think that humans enjoy playing a role in complicating their own lives thereby adding additional stress. Everyone is angry and the tension is felt intuitively. 

My recommendation is that you can't change your neighbors but you can influence them. Smile, say please and thank you, pause for a friendly chat. Show extra kindness and if it doesn't make someone else feel better, you'll feel better about yourself. Perhaps if we were all trying just a little bit harder to be kind and recognizing our personal responsibility that contributes to a negative atmosphere we would feel more fulfilled.

I'm not sure if it will work but shifting my energy around others can't hurt. I'm only one traveler, imagine if there were other travelers willing to do the same.
