Aseer Alkotb Notes About A Tense Planet , Matt Haig

We are drowning in books, we are drowning in soap operas and TV shows. Despite this, we can only read one book and watch one program at a time. We have multiplied everything around us, but we have not multiplied ourselves. There is one for each of us. And we are all much smaller than the Internet. To enjoy our lives, maybe we should stop thinking about the things we won't be able to read, watch, say, or do, and maybe we should start thinking about a way to enjoy the world within our simple limits. To live on a human level. To focus on the few things we can do, rather than the millions of things we won't catch. To stop chasing after parallel lives. to find a smaller math. To be one and proud selves. To be a hidden core.
