We all love a lot of people's traits at the same time

We're supposed to love persons, one person to be precise in our modern societies. I think we love  different people's traits. LOVE You’ll love the charisma of one, they kindness of another, the beauty of another, they eyes of another, they craziness of another, the smell of another, the voice of another, the skin of another, the imagination of another, the facial expression of another, the intelligence of another, the deep generosity of another, the wisdom of another, the smile of another, the style of another, the accent of another, the sense of humor of another, etc. We all love a lot of people's traits at the same time, and not traits from one person only - our significant one.

What should we do to protect our health from the air pollution killing spree?

Same thing for AIDS. 1,2 million people died from it in 2014. Same thing for bad water, 2 million die from it every year. What do we do to protect our health from pollution?   6,5 million people could die every year due to air pollution  ( or 5.5, another source ) As individuals, almost nothing. We

Boring real life vs amazing virtual realities

With our phones we're connected to thousand of people, we can order stuff, get super interesting content, see what's happening everywhere, create companies, fight for causes, help people, share love and get love. Tomorrow, virtual reality will let us enter in fantastic parallel dimensions. In comparison, our real life will be so boring. That's why people check their phone constantly, even with friends or significant ones. They're just bored. They're just attracted by more exciting content, more impressive dimensions. The world waits for you - Facebook friends, Twitter followers, Whatsapp groups, Tinder dates, Snapchat friends, Pokemon Go pokemons and hunters- why losing time chatting about ordinary stuff with a handful of friends in an average café. Why doing one thing in real life when you can at the same time do tons of things at the same time online, chatting with 10 persons at a time, playing and maybe working a bit too. Why going out to do somewhat
