Well written. There’s also this fear that we all harbor when relating to others…the fear that your imperfections, honest mistakes or oversights get magnified by this outrage culture that is commonplace in all the spaces we occupy. The fear that these intrinsic relational quips won’t just remain with your close village but will be shared context-less on social media platforms with strangers and, where it will stay on the internet forever! Your intimate chats are saved, screenshoted, shared, twitted, memed! So I believe you are right in the intentionality that is now required to be a villager, part of that process has to involve unplugging the softest part of our relationships from the internet. Explicitly so! Let’s just take walks again, no photos, no videos, no recordings.
