The therapeutic power of typing and shipping.
Resistance can make us feel miserable.
It can make us selfish and self-indulgent. We get mired in apathy, instead of empathy. We start believing that we are a victim and it’s time for the world to cut us some slack. There is helplessness and hopelessness in ResistanceLand.
What’s the way out then? Is there a way out?
What I’ve learned is that moving the fingers on a keyboard have a therapeutic effect. It takes the thoughts out of our mind through the fingers. The thoughts that make us miserable. The thoughts that make us do inhuman things.
Maybe, just maybe, you can try it out. You can open a blank page and start typing.
And maybe, just maybe, that may help you get out of apathy into the magic of empathy.
And when you are done, maybe press ‘Publish’.
