How we choose to direct our attention is such an influential aspect in our search for happiness, especially in this day and age when we are collectively grouped into communities under the direct rule of a hierarchical structure that is questioned to have the "people's" interests at heart.

The modern digital age has created a society in which we can be greatly influenced through a variety of alternative avenues that, and to an extent, can dictate our train of thought, planting seeds and directing our attention to potentially counterintuitive possibilities. I often find myself mindlessly scrolling through short-format videos for over an hour, only to realize later that I am reciting an interesting fact from a 15-second video to someone, without even consciously realizing it.

It's easy to get caught up in listening, learning, and thinking about obscure things that don't truly matter, losing sight of what is truly important to us in our pursuit of happiness. Our attention, and how we choose to direct it, plays a crucial role in shaping our perceptions, priorities, and ultimately, our fulfillment in life.

With such readily available access to entertainment on a variety of platforms, it is difficult not to be captivated by them. Although this entertainment can be completely harmless, there is also the possibility that it sways our direction. In a short span of time, it can change our perception and influence us to have an opposing view on our true objective reasoning and direction towards what will truly make us happy in our lives.
