Reflections during the pandemic quarantine
After several weeks removed from a work environment, are you experiencing the world differently?
Are you re-thinking your true values & priorities?
How much do you depend on others for your image, confidence or sense of fulfillment and purpose?
It can be helpful to look within the past — from where we came from to where we are today — to help shape our way forward.The following “Twilight Zone” episode aired on January 24, 1964.
(Preface) Rod Serling, “Given the chance, what young girl wouldn’t happily exchange a plain face for a lovely one? What girl could refuse the opportunity to be beautiful? For want of a better estimate, let’s call it the year 2000. At any rate, imagine a time in the future when science has developed the means of giving everyone the face and body he dreams of. It may not happen tomorrow, but it happens now in The Twilight Zone.”
Have we shaped society to value those with increasingly shallow, group-think attributes higher than those who live purposefully, truthfully and unapologetically?
Have we defaulted to conforming rather than making rational choices using guidance from our intuition or True Self?
