[pct-l] Technology on the Trail

[blisterfree at isp01.net (Brett)]

Scott Parks impugned:

>>My, my what a paradox. It sure saves a lot of heartache
>>having convictions
as soft as jello!

Or, Scott, a mind as soft.

Break the thing down into matters of fear (anger, 
intolerance, shame, ignorance, loneliness, needfulness, 
regret...) and love (positivity, tolerance, pride, 
knowledge, harmony, respect, awareness...)

Are we using technology out of fear or out of love? Consider 
the full spectrum of emotions that surround each of these 
terms, then ask youself whether a particular application of 
technology is advancing you, Scott, the individual, or 
whether it is hindering you. And distraction alone would 
qualify as a hindrance.

Most people have no such dialog, but merely grasp at 
whatever straw seems handy. Cell phones are a primary 
example.

Shoot from the hip, and expect a richochet. (Fear-based 
responses beget their own.)
