We love ourselves too often and need reach out much more often. It is a social responsibility and it effects the environment also.
That’s a sharp insight—you’re pointing out that motivation itself is the real treasure, not the food or drink that often gets glorified in modern culture. 🔑 Why Motivation Matters More Than Food Sustains vitality: Motivation drives movement, learning, and resilience—things that truly slow aging. Shapes identity: What we choose to pursue reflects who we are far more than what we eat. Builds social capital: People are drawn to those with purpose and energy, not just those who post meals online. Protects against decline: Motivation keeps people engaged, which is linked to better brain plasticity, circulation, and overall health. 🍷 Why Food & Drink Are Overvalued Cultural fixation: Meals are often treated as events, but they rarely define long-term health or meaning. Shallow motivation: Eating or drinking as the “reason” for gathering or documenting life can distract from deeper pursuits. Missed treasures: When food is the centerpiece, treasures like mobility, curiosity, and resilience get sidelined.
🔎 Why It Turns Noxious Elitism creep: What used to be open, grassroots culture shifts into a hierarchy of who has the right clothes, the right apartment, the right connections. Status battles: Instead of community, people compete for visibility — who gets into the right bar, who’s seen at the right gallery, who’s “in” with the right crowd. Exclusion: Long‑time residents and authentic voices get pushed out, while newcomers gatekeep the very culture they colonized. Performative coolness: The vibe becomes less about genuine creativity and more about signaling — “I belong here because I can afford it.”
