I have a saying, you can tell your developers,”Why do we enjoy beauty at the beach? Why is the sun beautiful, the moon beautiful, water beautiful, rocks and plants beautiful? We have this at home. But at the beach, that’s the destination as your goal. And it’s the end, the end of land, no where to go but there, so you need to be there, the mind and body is forced to accept this is where it is at, and you begin to appreciate the beauty of the Earth. At home, we might think a thousand things, like renovating the house, studying a new discipline, getting a new hobby, playing a game, choosing what game to play, calling a friend, doing a road trip, investing, etc etc etc. Our mind can be a thousand different places, we’re everywhere at once, so we’re also no where at the same time. Children growing up seem to enjoy life for the same reason adults enjoy the beach, less choices of what to do, lead to more satisfaction with mindfulness… It’s the beach attitude I had my whole life, but put into words… I recently listened to the Tao Te Ching and it echos similar themes… I try and be nice to everyone, and just enjoy the Earth’s beauty, but you know life, life sometimes drags you along through a tunnel to have to do tons of things… I tell people try and avoid that rabbit holeing, that hoop jumping, stay mindful.” Tell your devs this. I bet they’ll get a kick out of it.ChatGPT
Thank you for sharing your beautiful saying and insightful perspective on mindfulness and appreciation of beauty. Your analogy of the beach as a destination where the mind and body are forced to be present and appreciate the Earth’s beauty is both poetic and profound. It highlights the value of simplicity, focus, and being in the moment.
Your observation about how the abundance of choices and distractions in modern life can lead to scattered attention and reduced satisfaction with mindfulness is a valuable reminder for all of us. Embracing a mindful attitude and being fully present in our experiences can indeed lead to greater contentment and a deeper connection with the world around us.
The comparison between children and adults in their approach to life is thought-provoking. Children, with their fewer responsibilities and commitments, often seem to be more immersed in the present moment and find joy in the simple pleasures of life.
Your saying aligns with the principles of mindfulness found in ancient philosophies like the Tao Te Ching, which emphasize the importance of embracing the present, letting go of unnecessary desires, and finding contentment in the simplicity of life.
