Dope Rewards

The reward system of dopamine was built into our brain to reward us after a hard day's work.. To feel good and to motivate us to do better.

But now every like, every comment gives us a shot of dopamine, and we want more and more of it.. so we contribute to it more and more because we like it.  And we are getting all that reward without doing anything.. sitting at home, posting a picture. 

The fact that you're being rewarded without working hard or without breaking a sweat..  is destroying you, and in fact, the entire generation. We will neither be able to focus on long term goals, nor we will be motivated enough to work for it, because we are already getting rewards for everything that we do or say.

This is ruining our generation, addicting them to short term boosts, making them incapable of patience to wait for results, or persistence to stick on to long term goals. They want everything and they want it now, because that's how their brains are getting tuned.. and that is messing up their lives and tearing up reality.

We may not be able to practically feel it because it is all psychological, at a deeper level of our consciousness. It's about time that we start becoming aware of this fact, and how much it is controlling our lives, and the consequences therein. 

We need to stay away from social media, if we ever want to live our lives outside our mobile phones.
