The Utilist and the Beautilist

Inviting you, tap into the virtual hiatus, through this portal that urges you to maintain your mental speed limit. The fast lane reaches the end even faster!


Embark upon The Beautilist Trilogy with Team Steadfast.


Nudging you to cascade your mental window and take a few deep breaths in the real world before you connect back.


Connect Cautiously.

Leggo.



Our world has a bunch of stuff to wisp through, but I have broadly categorized myself into 2 versions, showing stark opposite thought patterns and behaviors.


There are some of us, who “Utilize” things, nonchalantly, to put it simply — Unpurposefully or Destructively.


There is no such concept as "good" or "evil" things.


I remember reading this illustrated well: When we consider a knife, it's an extremely versatile and useful tool when it's used for the purpose of cutting vegetables for a meal. However, conversely, it can be disastrous, if it's put to the use of killing somebody. The object remains the same, the purpose changes. One for the better, and one for the worse.


How we choose to use the things available to us is what makes the ultimate difference.

So, choose and choose wisely.


With this brief introduction, let's set out on this quest on our thoughts on how to limit screentime, as black screens are the norm of today, and here is where "using things beautifully" like a Beautilist steps in.


 

The Beautilist
// poetry

Some use things
Some abuse things
Subdue your fleshly self
Constructively infuse things.

The materialist
Thrives on physical things
Pleasure to the eyes
Subtle pain it brings.

It can divide
It can unite
Technology-driven world
Faux Leather to Sheep hide.

We have one life
Limited Screen time
You can watch a frivolous clip
Or learn to write and rhyme.

I'm not a materialist
But I love things,
"Purposefully use the material realm, my friend"
The Eternal song now a Beautilist sings.
