Every week, two times, I go to a gym. The session always starts on the treadmill. I'm addicted to my habits. I always select the fifth machine from the entrance. This place has a great view of the elevators.
The running session is excellent for multitasking, how I able to optimize my time. I'm listening to a meditational philosophic study of Ken Wilber regarding the evolution of our mind.
The meditation content described, we must see things as an observer.
Last time I observed the crowd usage of the elevators. It could be an irritating situation if you are seriously thinking about these scenes.
The scenes were different, and I will describe them:
People get in the elevator. After this they notice, it goes in the wrong direction. When they realize it, they start swearing. It is a problematic electronic system. Not so simple to understand the signs! There is one, which shows it goes down, the other shows the direction up. They don't care. Simply, it not under their control :)
Last Sunday it had more problems. One didn't work. The reduction in the number of pieces of equipment increased the Fun factor!
The one who didn't work had an open door.
When people have seen this open door, they jumped in. It took a while they realized; it will not go.
There was a man who started swinging to see if the elevator starts working. I can tell you; he had no control over the elevator.
After he realized, no miracle will come, he went out.
The history repeated itself many times.
If I were in the middle of these people, I would be really stressful. As an observer, it was more fun than stress.
Now I ask the question: If the use of an elevator is so complicated, how we believe most of humanity will solve more significant problems?
The reality is sadder! People careless. They lost the power of observing and understand how things work. Often most of the colleagues also take the elevator instead of the steps. However, it would benefit their health. As an experiment, please check the habits of the usage of the elevators. Don't be part of it, just a pure observer witness!
