The seesaw of emotions

the-seesaw-of-emotions

Feelings ranging from the happiest to the saddest. Total polarity. Catastrophes and natural disasters. More and more fatal diseases. A black cloud that hangs over us. And it's not even a metaphor, it's true! We are in a dark moment, with a series of chaotic events that lead us to despair and the search for quick solutions. The more problems appear, the more heated the discussions are. And unnecessary!



In a time when social networks are a priority for many people (including work), people's problems spread quickly. Multitudes of likes and dislikes, millions of posts, likes, reposts. A modern language, but with terms that are very common today, after all, our daily lives are summarized in this context. There is no age or social class, there is no location or time, any topic that goes viral is a form of catastrophe!

This seesaw of emotions takes us high in one moment and quickly lower. In a single day we can enjoy the feeling of happiness sharing an achievement (or showing off something) and that same day we receive very shocking, sad news. In the same “place”, the highs and lows are oscillations of seconds. When we are celebrating something, we are subject to devastating news. While we cry about something, we are faced with the birth of a baby, a business, the arrival of something exciting.

If there's one thing the internet (and especially social media) does, it's unite and help with a cause. But in this same cause, it separates everyone, segregates, criticizes, causes chaos to be established. And I'm not talking about a cause, or an event. I'm talking about everything every day and you also know that, because while reading this text you already know which events, at least this week, I'm talking about. If you read this column a year from now, you will still be aware of what is happening in this sphere today. These are new issues, but the same conflicts.

This shows us more every day that we need to look for a place to escape and it is no longer in apps. If you are so strict that you have a device without a social network, without a current affairs app or a sensationalist news portal, then you can use the internet to navigate creative and neutral seas. Otherwise, you, me, and everyone else will need to escape this toxic environment to rest. Filter what is necessary, achieve self-control to trap your energy in the right place. Easy to write? Difficult to act? For all of us, including. Although not impossible. We know that. The energy we waste on everything negative is the same energy we throw onto the seesaw...

Desconfio que nós homo sapiens sapiens não estamos preparados para processar tanta informação. Com a popularização da internet em dispositivos móveis, qualquer pessoa conectada à rede aberta (alguns países têm fortes restrições de navegação na rede) poderá acessar informações sobre virtualmente qualquer coisa. Além da busca pessoal por informações de interesse próprio, a forma como as redes sociais vêm se desenvolvendo faz com que uma avalanche de informações não buscadas sejam apresentadas ao usuário todos os dias, em recortes muito limitados, sem contextualização, sem fundamentação - apenas fragmentos de fatos, de ideias e de opiniões. Ao longo da linha evolutiva da humanidade, nunca tivemos que processar tanta informação, simplesmente não estamos preparados para isso. Some-se a isso o fato de que - ao menos na sociedade brasileira - não somos educados a identificar e reconhecer nossos próprios sentimentos; e muitas (quiçá a imensa maioria) das informações que chegam até nós tem o objetivo (não unicamente, mas certamente) de provocar algum tipo de sentimento. Às vezes alegria, satisfação ou quietude, mas muito frequentemente perplexidade, comoção, tristeza, raiva, indignação. Nós usuários de redes sociais e leitores de "notícias" (entre aspas porque está cada vez mais difícil reconhecer ou delimitar o fato, a opinião e a fantasia) pouco refletimos sobre como nossas emoções agem (ou são estimuladas para agir, para manipular) nossos conceitos e, camadas abaixo da própria consciência, crenças e valores. Enfim, do jeito que estamos indo, como sociedade conectada hiper-submetida a dados e informações, muitas produzidas ou mal compiladas por IA, realmente não parece que no longo prazo vai dar certo.
