Many people come from places where voices were silenced. Civil liberties and human rights were ignored. Everyone deserves a platform to tell their own story, connect with others, and be heard.
Eventually, some people will find a way to exploit this technology either for wealth, image, status, or success. If this could eventually lead to longer lives, there would certainly be people with disposable wealth willing to pay any price for immortality. Of course, we may be years away from this becoming a real issue. At least, I certainly hope so.
If we focus more on personal growth, foster quality relationships, and establish a sense of community by being kinder, more generous individuals we may finally ensure a steady supply of the positive feelings we so crave. These conscious everyday choices can ultimately assist us in the pursuit of true happiness.
