“True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.” Martin Luther King.
In an episode of the TV series Black Mirror, Chris, a rideshare driver, clicks on a mindfulness app on his smart-phone. A soothing voice guides him as he closes his eyes: “Now once more, return your attention to the breath. Your mind may wander; simply watch it go, calmly and without judgment.”
After driving a short distance, Chris abruptly stops the car, grabs a gun and points it at his passenger who’s an employee of Smithereen, a major social media company who he blames for the death of his fiancé - since he had taken his eyes off the road while compulsively checking its social media platform, which led to a fatal crash.
