Attention for the soul

By David WilliamsPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

When did self-expression become a competition?

When did the need to stand out become so important?

Everything and everyone is monetizable,

Your worth is a popularity contest,

Measured by likes and views,

Are you funny, are you pretty, do you make others envious of your life?

Why do I care so much what they think?

What is the price of entry worth?

How do I be me when I am not of value?

comparison is the thief of joy,

Envy is the thief of life.
