The book writes 101 short stories with messages conveying the meaning of life, don't waste time on useless things but spend it doing what you really want, live awake, dedicate yourself to the present, seek knowledge to develop yourself every day.
If the Canadian speaker intends to write the next part after 20 years, perhaps, the title will be "Short Life Don't Watch Harmful Short Videos".
Anyone with a smartphone knows what short videos are. Saying "don't watch short videos" does not mean blaming or completely denying the value of this type of content. It is also a transmission tool where people access a significant amount of information and knowledge.
It is also not the case that everyone's time is the same. Because a person who is busy all day is different from a businessman who has not yet started working or a motorbike taxi driver with few customers.
What is worrying is that people "consume" even the rest time of the body. A short video of a few tens of seconds, but when stopped, sometimes hours have passed.
And the alarm level increases when the rate of malicious videos is very high, as well as the receiving posture. Watch in active selection or in a guided state? Mostly the second part.
The moment of entrusting the mind to the algorithm, if not alert, is the beginning of a "long sleep with big eyes".
The difference between each individual is not whether they use social networks or not, but the ability to self-set up cognitive filters. Before a short series of videos, the proactive person will ask themselves: Where is harmful video, where is positive content; What value do these contents give you, or just create short-term dopamine but drain long-term energy?
How to deal with negative, harmful content or bad trends is the measure of bravery and cultural depth.
In a digital environment where crowds are easily diverted, easily angered, stoned or joined in in ridiculous pranks just because they are afraid of "being outdated", the calmness that passes is the declaration of an independent, steadfast subject.
It is not a departure from the times, but an expression of someone who knows how to protect the "temple of the mind". You don't need to know everything online to prove that you are up to date and keeping up with the times.
Courage is when you still approach the story but put yourself in the position of observing, feeling, drawing lessons, instead of rushing into arguing, discussing things that are not your own, things that are distracting and useless...
Short videos with nonsensical, negative content can be likened to "digital drugs", and when life is still short, getting a long enough sleep is better for "addictions" to take away many valuable things...
