Don’t search division, hate, and conflict. We have enough of that.
Search joy. Search neighborliness. Search surprise. Search kindness. Search beauty in small things. Search healing. Search brighter days. Search love.
Because what we seek — that is to say, what we like, follow, and subscribe to — is being recorded and tallied.
Yes.
Our tiny, hidden actions while lying on the couch, sitting in the parking lot, or waiting for the pot to boil, they matter. When clumped together and translated into a broadcast, they matter. A million tiny whispers become a roar.
And it’s not just the algorithms keeping score.
Our hungry little brains take it all in, add it all up, and multiply.
It’s hard to believe the impact our thumbs are having.
On the world.
And us.
Let’s make sure we’re sending the right message.
