My internet wasn’t working for a few days, and I was working with my service provider to solve the issue. Both of us were confused about the solution. And hence, we were struggling.
Finally, I could speak to one of their expert who told to check in one setting in the control panel. To my surprise, that setting was wrong and I had to change it. My internet began to work as soon as I changed that setting.
This story can be used as a metaphor for life. Many times, we get stuck in a problem and lookout for a solution. Somehow, we meet a friend, guru, relative, or co-worker who provides a simple trick and that trick or setting becomes a solution to our problem. That little setting can our perspective, our thinking process, or our lifestyle, but it helps.
These little settings are essential in our life. A little change can change the flow of our life.
Hi Agastya, to extend your metapor, I think we need to comprehensively change ALL our default settings which are handed down historically, already embedded the day we are first switched on. We need radically new ways of connecting those noughts and ones if we are to have any kind of collective future. We could begin by recognising our place in one great network/web/cloud and not just isolated little machines. Together we are very powerful and have the capacity to create any future we consciously choose, for the benefit of all – including elephants 😀🐘🌈🙏🏻
It’s a lovely feedback. I think I should add this in. I love elephants.
