Yikes. Back to business? I was gonna say back to life, as in I feel like I am finally recovering from the kayak trip, but then I just randomly said back to business. Is my life business? Is my life, forbid, transactional (I manually inserted the HTML tags in microsoft word to get that word to be italicizied)?
Ugh, what a horrible word. Transactional. If money is the root of all evil, is a transactional existence all we have? What a horrible thought. We must detach ourselves from transactional thinking. Transactional thinking is inherently separating and demarcating. A different kind of thinking approaches the union of two entities as a symbiosis and power generating force rather than a one way connection.
Existing in a transactional state of mind and acting daily as a consumer reiterates common behavior associated with modern capitalism. By seeking to unify, unite, and join separate beings and associated actions, we can better connect with each other. We must recognize the second currency other than money/material goods: time, a new form of highly valuable currency in today’s rapid fire maelstom of electronically-mediated living.
I prefer unitive thinking. Unitive thinking draws each of closer to one another, recognizing that a lonely existence is bereft of greater human accomplishments such as compromise, teamwork, and love.
Only connect, only connect, only connect. Only unify, only unify, only unify.
