Beyond the glow of the screen - on attention, silence, and human presence

Sometimes I wonder when exactly we began to fear the empty spaces in our own lives. Not the great emptiness that comes with separation, loss, or unfulfilled dreams, but those small intervals we once barely noticed: a few minutes before waking, the journey home, the anticipation of someone's arrival, the afternoon light falling across a table, the silence between two thoughts. Today, it seems that every such pause creates a need within us to fill it. Almost unconsciously, our hand reaches for the phone, the screen lights up, and a foreign world enters our consciousness before we have even had the opportunity to meet our own. The day begins not with the feeling of returning to life, but with checking what is happening somewhere else. News, messages, images, other people's anxieties, achievements, and opinions - everything enters through a small illuminated surface while our own thoughts are still somewhere in the half-dreaming space of the night.

Kindness as Nature, Not a Transaction - A Return to the Heart of the Village

In a world where everything moves fast, where logic often overrides intuition, kindness has started to seem... strange. Especially in the cities. There, people pass each other without eye contact. Every gesture of goodwill is met with suspicion:
“What do they want in return?”
“Why are they helping me?”
“Are they pretending to be kind for their own gain?”

But somewhere—not so far away—in the villages, in the small towns and countryside, kindness still lives. Not as a strategy, but as a natural way of being. There, people don’t ask whether it’s worth doing something kind. They simply do it. If someone senses their neighbor is alone, they stop by. If they cook something delicious, they bring some to share.
Not for credit.
Not for a favor in return.
Just because it feels right.
Because it's part of who they are.

In these rural communities, an invisible web still exists—of support, care, and sincere connection. Kindness there is not an investment. It is a way of life. A heartbeat.

And this is what we’re losing in the cities—the ability to believe in unconditional goodness. In urban environments, someone who acts kindly without reason may be seen as naive, strange, or even manipulative. Kindness becomes suspect. It becomes impractical.

But kindness is not a luxury. It is a frequency—a vibration that those still connected to the land, to tradition, and to God naturally live in. These are people who understand that we are not isolated islands but part of something greater—a living, breathing, caring human fabric.

Let’s not forget this. Let’s not let kindness become a myth.
We may not all live in a village, but we can carry the village in our hearts—as a memory, as a model, as a quiet reminder that humans were never meant to walk alone.
That real kindness isn’t negotiated.
It’s lived.
