Imagine a village where everyone’s building a new tool—a shiny, powerful machine to make life better. Some want it to carry goods faster, others to tell stories, and a few just want to sell it for gold. Years pass, coins pile up, workers sweat, and dreamers pitch grand ideas. Finally, the machine’s ready—but it’s loud, favors the wealthy, and leaves some villagers behind. “Wait,” someone says, “this isn’t what we all needed.” Sound familiar? That’s the story of technology—like AI—unfolding today. And as a mindfulness coach, I see a different way forward: one where we build with a good heart from the beginning.
