We go into the 2022NewYear of Tiger with some irregularities brought
along with us such as with the WFH life pattern which understandably
many people had much juggling at the beginning as well as made the
most possibly out of it at the end. Parents who have adopted WFH since
the past twelve months had realized that kids grow up faster than they
think and we hope they have taken the opportunity to form good
memories with them.
We also enter the 2022NewYear with a vision of the prospective better
world ahead that #metaverse will likely bring to our life. With the
Zuckerberg wowing global citizen with his Meta’s vision, tech-driven
geeks and meta fans seem to buy to his idea that the future world will
be the place where imagination becomes reality, the place everyone is
dreaming of.
The #metaverse as what we have learnt recently is a virtual world where
people can interact and do activities in a shared virtual environment
such as conferences, entertainment and shopping. People see this
meta-technology will contribute to a balanced society at the same time
driving business by transforming how people live through the integration
of advanced technologies, imagination and creativity.
We know that the Web 2.0 has passed and are now evolving towards
Web 3.0 where people, places, things and assets can be in a fully virtual
environment. #Metaverse is Web 3.0 with convergence of physical and
digital lives.
Let’s imagine, in the spirit of NewYear Holidays giving, greetings, and
of wanting to make things jolly for everyone, we may operate with a
monumental ‘To Do’ list, make numerous commitments to entertain,
and set standards of decorating or gift giving. With all these have-to-do
checklist of what the holiday's season demands of us, we can end up
not treating ourselves so kindly.
But, if we were in the Web 3.0 #metaverse at this moment, we can extend
to celebrate the seasons seamlessly with the integration of simulated
sights, sounds, and even feelings of the holidays’ vibes into our
perception of the settings around us. Our real in combination with virtual
surroundings will become filled with persons, places, objects, and
activities that do not actually exist, and yet they will seem deeply
authentic to us.
It will dramatically enhance our holidays experience beyond
imagination with less ‘To Do’ list of preparation to bother. But the
holiday’s season should not only aim for creating happiness from
external resources but also internally from our minds and bodies.
NewYear Holidays is not only all about decoration and setting-up an
elaborate venue for gaming, dancing, singing, drinking, and eating but
gift giving is also a key celebrating moment. It is an act making people
happy. Gift-giving is not limited for friends and loved ones but can be
extended to those in need at this time. In fact, there are always people
who need our spirit of generosity whether or not we are in the spirit of
holiday. Extend our generosity and just watch how those around us
begin to boast the holiday glow. It will make the holidays really mean the
happy days.
But, if we were feeling a bit stingy or closed-hearted at this time, it is a
recommendation to call upon a memory of someone who demonstrated
generosity to us. Bring them into our mind’s eye and feel, once again,
what it was like to be on the receiving end of their generosity such as
remembering how delicious it felt to be cared for in this way.
Psychological studies said people who have been blessed with being
surrounded by those who have modeled loving-kindness and generosity
especially, grandmothers, mother, mothers of friends, teachers, and
mentors receive firsthand how to be caring and they can learn to be
more generous by modeling the kind acts of those who have gone
before them. The studies also said that wise and wonderful people are
likely generous and kind because they are so caring themselves.
Whether or not we are in amidst of those wise and wonderful people,
we can begin to cultivate the spirit of generosity now. The NewYear
Holidays we celebrate invite us to think a bit more about how we relate
to others, to examine our own hearts; to open them wide, offer wishes
of well-being to others, and engage in acts of generosity.
It is not new to know that generosity is universal but the newer to learn
is it is meta which means transcendent, so it should be a perfect act to
be experimented in the #metaverse time as well, even though the
Buddha advises to act generously 2600 years ago.
Being optimistic, the #metaverse uplifting technology will be force of
good, making the world a magical place and expanding what it means
to be human while helping boost social harmony. Being realistic, it can
happen only we need to proceed carefully and thoughtfully, otherwise
#metaverse will be no difference as the physical-verse which is full of
things we want to change or want them to be differently like all kinds of
corruption and manipulation hidden in different layers.
Buddhist teaching advises the set of ethical practice in creating a
harmonious-verse: kindness and generosity to counter-balance with
manipulation and corruption. In any time and place, the wise and
wonderful people enriched with kindness and generosity create a
harmonious society. To build #metaverse harmonious co-existing
environment, we must not forget to equip our avatar in the #metaverse with both virtues
too, otherwise we will encounter #metaverse misery instead.
