Discovery trip

She is no babe-in-the-woods. The internet and AI connect her to the world outside.

She has friends, opinions, critics …. not necessarily in the same order.

The family keeps warning her of the perils of over-exposure, and home is touted as the safest place in the world.

A cryptic post from her, “Do people outside have something to hide from the ‘safest ones?’

How would she respond to unprecedented situations? Will that be close to fiction or philosophy or a combo of both?

While the world stepped inside to meet her, she had to cross the thresholds to discover herself.

  1. A beautiful and thought provoking poem Reena. You’re absolutely right that we try to warn our young ones about the dangers of over exposure but sometimes the dangers lurks inside too. Thanks for joining in.

    1. We warn them against exposure, because we cannot control what happens outside. Can we control what happens inside the devices?

      The only way (if at all) is to imbibe a value system so strong that they don’t get swayed by pressure. At the same time, we can’t deny that they discover themselves through experience, not sermons.
