Morals, Perspective & The World We Choose to See

Morals, Perspective & The World We Choose to See

One of the best things about having my own website? I can write whatever I want on it. No algorithms, no viral trends, no pressure to fit into what people expect. Just thoughts. Real, unfiltered, straight from my own experiences and how I see the world.

So let’s talk about morals—something that feels like it’s fading fast in the world we live in.

What Are We Even Following?

Every day, we open our phones and scroll through a world that isn’t even real. We follow influencers who sell a lifestyle they don’t actually live. We watch artists who once stood for something but now push whatever brings in the most engagement. We obsess over wealth, status, and clout—all while ignoring how much actual suffering exists outside our curated digital bubbles.

I say this because I’ve seen both sides. On one hand, I’ve played around with AI-generated influencers like Sienna and Vivi, creating something that people truly believed was real. And on the other hand, I’ve worked on ZoomOut, a project meant to shift focus away from our tiny online worlds and show the real, brutal contrasts in life—the gap between the rich and the poor, between what we choose to see and what we choose to ignore.

And the more I look at it, the clearer it becomes: we’re being fed an illusion.

The Illusion vs. Reality

While we spend our time watching rich influencers flex their lives, scrolling through photoshopped faces, and buying into AI-curated perfection, there are people out there barely surviving. We live in a time where billionaires exist while others can’t afford a meal. Where people drop thousands on a handbag while others sleep on the streets. And yet, what do we choose to see? The perfect Instagram post. The luxury. The dream.

But zoom out for a second. See the full picture. What if the things we idolize aren’t the things that actually matter? What if we’re all just playing into the distraction?

The Role of Morals in All of This

I’ve always believed that what we create and consume matters. That we should question why we do things, not just do them because “that’s what works.”

Morals should guide what we do, but they’re becoming rare. People will sell anything, say anything, and pretend to be anything if it benefits them. And honestly? That’s the part I can’t get behind.

So, What Now?

This isn’t some deep “call to action.” I’m not here to preach or tell you how to live your life. But I do think it’s worth asking yourself:

• What are you following?

• What actually matters to you?

• Are you seeing the full picture, or just what’s being shown to you?

I don’t have any answers. This isn’t a guide or a lesson—it’s just a post I found myself writing. I’m just another human, like you, trying to make sense of all this.
