“What? You spend several hours a day talking to people all over the world?” – These words from a good friend stuck with me. Even though it’s part of my job, I knew that I had once again lost my way. I was basically available 24/7, and the consequences were obvious. That’s why, right after Christmas, I spontaneously decided to go “offline” again after a long time. I wanted to be unavailable to others for at least one day and not be able to reach anyone either.
When we are surrounded by a culture/society that is not good for us for too long, sooner or later we get carried away. No matter how well we know from past experience that it is not good for us. Then we need a strong network of people who build a different culture. People and a value system that remind us again and again to anchor ourselves within us and in the here and now.
