Do, do, do: it is the word of the century. We are all hopelessly and irreducibly overwhelmed by doing: but do we also remember to be?
In fact, the two cannot be considered separately, and a person can only grow in content if the container also adapts to his or her new status. Here, then, professional life cannot be separated from personal life: a growth of the body must also go hand in hand with that of the spirit.
We do not want to delve too deeply into the meaning of the latter concept, but when we speak of the spirit, we do not mean only the religious aspect. While it is true that faith can be an extremely effective means of cultivating our interiority, we are convinced that human growth can also take place in other contexts outside the ecclesial one. On the contrary, we are all called, regardless of our personal beliefs, to cultivate ourselves as human beings capable of humanity.
An excellent food for thought can be provided by correlating the spectrum of light with the depth of ocean water. Visible light is the superposition of electromagnetic waves of different frequencies, and water acts as a chromatic filter, absorbing the different colors at a given depth according to their wavelengths: if the frequencies of red and orange stop at the first few meters... yellow seems to continue a bit further. At 20 to 30 meters, however, the scenery appears to be illuminated by a green-blue-violet light, which gives way to an infinite blue as it descends.
This purely scientific correlation between light, color and depth may be a possible (albeit very philosophical) key to understanding life: indeed, it seems that it is necessary to reach the depths in order to experience the different frequencies that belong to us and to fully understand all the nuances of our existence.
It would be necessary to understand why this inner search is not an investment for many, we can venture a few hypotheses: first, it would come to say that it is a cultural problem. We live in the age of technique, a life marked by a frantic search for efficiency, with television commercials that do not invite us to rest, but rather to compensate for our lack of energy with multivitamin supplements. We are prisoners of time, forgetting that it is not man who is made for time, but time for man.
But it cannot always be a social fault: where there is no lack of time, there is usually a lack of willpower. Well, yes: this is undoubtedly the most problematic and significant of the causes. Growing from a personal point of view is complex and time-consuming, and working on oneself requires enormous mental fatigue: thus, most people seem to be unaccustomed to toil in the age of smartphones and ChatGPT.
The consequence of all this is that there are so many people who are simply afraid to experience the depth that may lie within them. Because it may seem comfortable not to: but at the expense of what? Of becoming a better person, which is the only real goal in life.
Therefore, Free AstroScience does not only want to be a scientific high class, but also wants to stimulate the search for our own depth. In fact, we want to live every experience to the fullest. And that means working out even small concrete actions.
By now, our blog has hopefully become an indispensable little rendezvous where we offer you the pills of science: a little antidote to the frenzy of doing.
