Soul Slumber

Between what we live & what we aspire for, comes the way we relate to people, things & the world around us.
By virtue of these relationships while pursuing aspirations, our line of duty gets defined. 
During the series of struggles not giving way to any sentiments, emotions & adherence to demands of duty with courage to take on adversities, we form values : personal, professional & social.
Simple Political correctness & living by the values at cost, are two distinct paradigms one has choose in choiceless situations.
Plato asked to be kind & compassionate, for everyone is fighting a hard battle. To understand people, just observe & when given the choice between being right or being kind, gather courage & choose kind.
Technology influences people's behaviour & relationships as well. The multiverse phenomenon which evolves around excessive data, combinations of concepts & information overload, shimmers with modernity but we have seen at times this excessiveness can lead to redundancy.
All of a sudden, someone introduces limited technology game. Wordle. Word as a riddle. The good old Bulls & Cows played with friends on a tech interface in solo mode, makes you feel better just because you are off the excessiveness. One word in a day, satisfaction of achieving & on your own. 
Influencers, Leaders are sharing their scores.
Well, excess has several responses.
For some nothing succeeds like excess but then you have a Sanskrit shlok: 
ati sarvatra varjayet which means to adhere to the limits.
Pushing the limits, raising the bar continuously seems evolutionary but this can happen only for a few. The collective consciousness demands quality in terms of universal beauty which is in harmony with evolution.
