Connections
We now live in an age of unprecedented instability. Wars continue all around the world, divisions are deepening, and economic instability has grown enormously. However, it is precisely these chaotic times that call for new connections. Perhaps the question now is how each of us can approach our own individuality and foster empathy with others. Mutual understanding between people with different values - achieved through empathy and dialogue while maintaining mental stability by accepting ourselves as we are and facing both the past and our emotions - can ease societal fracturing. Technology is certainly a powerful tool for connecting people for that purpose, but occasionally taking time to intentionally disconnect is also crucial. Having space to take a step back from the digital deluge and think about harmony with nature or coexistence with the natural environment creates a richer array of choices.
Individual and society, customer and company, technology and nature, global and local - harmoniously balancing these aspects will create a prosperous and sustainable future society.
