Each web app we use takes us further away from what’s real, what’s connectable.

We fear people and we should not. We should walk and laugh, we should share.
We should spend time with the dearest ones so that we make memories.

But more often than not, we spend time for a webapp, a game, a social network where all is hidden within their app.

In software development is common to test because you need to be sure that a program works correctly.

We either test manually or automatically (yes, we’re nerds afterall), and it’s probably the highest form of caring about your work because you don’t simply do it and do it well, but you double/triple check that everything is fine.

It’s like caring at its highest level at least in work and the testing is a clear sign of how much someone cares about the result of their work.

If you are in a hurry, you can’t have quality.

To have quality you need to build with more time because quality needs that. It needs mental space, it needs control and attention to details.

If you go too fast you’ll end up missing some details, which is absolutely against quality.

Some problems are bigger than others and they make you feel powerless.
But in this world there are no unsolvable problems, although the solution might not be the same one you were thinking of.

There is always a sane and sound solution, even to war.
And as always, it’s hard.

I have some dear friends that complain on Facebook, they complain about how hard some part of life is, how they are not understood, etc etc.
I get it, because I did it the same way, I complained a lot on FB and today I can say that it’s not worth it.

Not because you aren’t talking to the right people, but because it drains power from you, energy you could use differently, more intelligently.
That aside, the thing is that even if you complain about it, nothing will change.

The change we all seek is either within us (and often that’s the key) or outside us. But not on Facebook.
Facebook is a listener, a place you share your vision, but not a place to act upon.

Today I read a complain about how much things one is protecting, how much weight you have on the shoulders and so on.
We do all have that, everyone is struggling, but sometimes we can’t change that weight.

Sometimes we have to keep it and continue our journey, and in those difficult times we have to change within. We have to understand that the place that can do the most extreme change is our behaviour, our perception, the way we interact with the world.

Because it’s always easier to complain, to expect the world to change, but it’s always harder to fix ourselves.
The sane solution is not to blame yourself for the things you can’t fix, but to learn to live with them. To understand their real weight.

Even the most disastrous event has a different weight compared to others.
You can go beyond even the most gigantic damage.
We know of people who lost their legs and kept dancing, we know of mothers who lost their children and still live.
We know that many people in this world still don’t have proper food daily.

And we, in this rich society, have the time to complain on Facebook.
While there’s nothing inherently wrong with this there’s something to consider: We have energy, but we slack.

We need to learn the true weight of our drama.

It’s easy to blame, yourself or others.
What’s important is to learn and move forward, because blaming can’t help, it never did.
