The power of committing to one thing, on a daily basis is the basis of all steady progress. Christianity says daily bread, a Buddhist might do a daily meditation, an addict might do a daily shot. The businessman the daily deal. The daily dose of sugar, of clean air, of fresh water are the deep desires of those that live with bitter life, dirty air full of smoke and the foul smells of trash, and grubby water that only animals should drink. To be surrounded in pollution is one thing, despair is quite another. The social media ocean many of us swim in, take off our clothes and bathe in, for hours on end, is no high crime other than superficiality. The results are invisible: they don't show up like fat on the sides from eating cookies. The indulgence only results in blank stares, triggered attitudes and confusion. Shall I spend my days reading five minutes of Shakespeare instead? Today or not today.
