Are we the lost generation? Probably not, but why?
Based on the 2nd law of thermodynamics, entropy is always increasing. Nowadays, technologies, social media, e-bla bla bla have taken most of our times. They provide informations, maybe also one kind of entropy, and “nourish” us a lot. It seems like we obtain myriads of entropies and have to arrange these to certain orders. This means we do some “Work” to reduce the “Entropy” so we lose energy to produce “Work”.
There are too many entropies we have gained at this generation since we were born. We gain informations (entropies) unconsciously and then pay attention (lose energy to do Work) to digest these informations (reduce entropies). Maybe this is the reason that we feel lost because we keep losing our energy to deal with chaos in our lives.
HOW CAN WE CHANGE THIS SITUATION? Using less smart devices may help. To reduce the meaningless/unnecessary information can save you more time and energy to pay more attention to more important tasks/goals. Be more concentrated and less distracted. Since your spirit is nourished upon the fulfillment from those accomplishments you've done, you won't feel lost. You will be the wealthiest person in the world.
Alright, I admit that I use my "smart phone" to write this draft and finish this version with my laptop...Time to take a break at Friday night!
