Western culture is run by a sense of false urgency. Work demands that we tend to our email, Slack, and calendars. Increasingly, our social lives are shifting from IRL hangouts to the online space, where we must battle against sophisticated algorithms designed to brainwash us into believing the urgency blasted in their notifications is real. Text messaging and WhatsApp culture convinces us that if we don’t respond to our homies in a timely manner, we are being inconsiderate, selfish friends.
Our bodies carry all these burdens more than we realize.
Don't punish people for admitting they were wrong, you make it harder for them to improve.
