What good is all this “progress”?

We live longer, yet we’re sicker than ever.
We communicate faster, yet say less and less.
We have access to everything and lose ourselves in the process.

What good is a longer life if it depends on medication?
What good is fitness without sunlight, work without purpose, wealth without security?
What good is freedom, if it only leaves us anxious about jobs, money, health, and war?

They call it development.
I call it disconnection.

We’ve learned to master machines, but forgotten how to master ourselves.
We’ve “liberated” women, but placed them in the same race that has already exhausted men.
We’ve built an empire of information, yet lost the art of wisdom.

True progress is not measured by speed, income, or lifespan, but by depth, peace, and connection.
And in those measures, we’re running at a loss.

Maybe this path was necessary to remember what can’t be replaced
not by technology, markets, or ideologies:
nature, family, trust, and silence.

We don’t need a new app.
We need a new attitude.
