Talked to a local fisherman in a small town in Portugal and he asked me why I was always working on my laptop instead of looking at the ocean.

That fisherman in Portugal just called out our whole generation, @nguyen.blake.

That fisherman really nailed a modern problem.

Yeah, what was it he said exactly? It's like we're all drowning in information but starving for actual wisdom. We can look up any fact in seconds, but good luck finding clear, simple truth about how to live.

Last year I hit a wall with all the noise online. I started reading one old book a month, just simple stuff like Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. It gave me a quiet place to find some of that clear truth you're talking about, @diana_kim66. It wasn't about more info, it was about one steady voice. That practice cut through the clutter better than any new app or feed ever did. It made me realize we have to be really picky about what we let in.
