Living in an (un)moral Society

Morals are often taught to us as we go through school. Yet somehow, the morals of society continue to disintegrate. People lie, steal, and take advantage of each other. As humans, we often get distracted by goals in our lives. While we once might be good people, we slowly distance ourselves from our own morals as small goals contradict them. One exception is followed by hundreds. If we want to maintain our sense of morality, we need each to set up ways to keep ourselves in check with our own personal standards.

Overcoming Digital Addiction

Studies show that the best way to overcome addiction is to replace your habit with some other activity. For example, running every-time you want to smoke. Our brain intentionally sends signals when our bodies need something. Like how we get hungry when we need food. When our brain tells us to partake in our addiction, we can instead do something else. This in turn re-trains our brain over time, eventually eliminating the addiction. Many of us have become addicted to digital activities. The best way to overcome the addiction is to find a suitable activity that will replace our need to consume digital media. For me, it helps to consider what need my addiction is fulfilling and find something in the same category, e.g., social acceptance.
