Your Fear of Missing Out
You consistently want to receive the latest
The latest is something you may hear about often—the newest fashion design. The latest jeans, shoes, etc. It is a concept that everyone needs wear the most delinquent. It's an idea that you need to wear this as it's the freshest thing on the market. Wear it now; then, you'll not miss out on looking at how it presents. If you decide to wear something else, forget it, you need to wear this now.
I understand you want to wear something more modern; however, the pressure that many witnesses always need the latest is daunting.
Showing your personality within your clothes is an idea that leaves the door as the newest clothing is the one you shall only wear today.
When you have your opinion, it's likely something you've read, then said it back at someone. Many declare to have an opinion; however, if you look at what the majority say, it's mostly from somewhere else.
There is nothing wrong with having similar viewpoints; however, when you're saying what others told you, without you having much thought about it, that's when you're becoming a sheep within a field.
So whatever you read comes to your mind, you spit it back at others, spreading nonsense or lies that you're not aware of, mainly because you've read it from a trusted source that you believe is reliable. Then you see millions of people saying the same thing as if they're one person; however, realistically, you need to pick an opinion not to miss out, as if you don't, you don't exist among your peers.
Then you always see two sides when you start seeing opinions going around; there is never one answer. It's mostly always two sides against each other. As if it's done within a purpose to create noise.
When you force the sheep to battle, you hear how loud they make the noise among each other to spread the noise.
Technology will impress you every year with the latest. However, the problem starts when upgrading each year to the newest technology. These things have many components; some aren't recyclable; the problem is that your home planet feels the fear of you missing out as you're damaging it.
When you have the latest gadget, it doesn't solve anything within you; it is mostly the same object as it was last year.
Remember, it doesn't mean you need it because it's new. If your current device works fine, let it work for more time. When you see an advert tricking you into taking the latest gadget, it's still the same device as before with a slight upgrade.
There is a difference between need or want; if you need a device, complete the purchase; nonetheless, if it's a want because the voice in your mind said so, you're being a fool. Mother nature wouldn't approve.
The latest news. The latest things are happening within planet earth for you to know. Make sure to read the news to see what's happening right now.
You don't need to hear, read or talk about these things. Most of them have nothing to do with you; therefore, you're worried about something perhaps happening miles away.
Knowing the latest reports isn't going to expand your knowledge, give you more intelligence, teach you something new. The words will more likely scare you, give fear, or potentially drama. Reading the news wouldn't change anything as it's a fabrication for your click, see an ad, then someone else's pocket grows. They make it up, so you may have a subject to talk about with your peers. It gives you a sense of community that you're part of something. Apart from that, it's useless.
If someone took away food from you, would you cry? I'd assume, yes. If someone took away news from you, would you sob? I'd imagine no, as that kind of information isn't needed for your existence, you aren't benefiting from it apart from being a victim of being bullied by people you never saw. They're using the art of writing to give you fear; then, you spread it to increase someone's profits.
When you put down away your device, then you'll realize something. Whatever you see each day, item to buy, or news, they don't matter. The importance is for you to focus on yourself. These outside things are an object to distract you from deep thinking, self-help, or giving yourself to the world.
The noise that’s within the society's minds, is the uproar you see on the outside. Don’t be fooled, ignore it.
