what we are sacrificing is depth in all sorts of dimensions. Depth takes time. And depth takes reflection. If you have to keep up with everything and send emails all the time, theres no time to reach depth. Depth connected to your work in relationships also takes time. It takes energy. It takes long time spans. And it takes commitment. It takes attention, right? All of these things that require depth are suffering. Its pulling us more and more up onto the surface.
