Live life, the real way by interacting face to face.
Our world is filled with distractions from technology that consumes our time, day in and day out. The social media that we interact online is; anything but social. When we open our computers to connect with the world, it is our doors that we shut. We sit into space of connection through a visual technology screen, looking at new friends and connecting on social media. We can speak to all of them every day on the phone, yet none of them really know us well. We can have so many friends, and yet feel lonely.
All these technology that we mastered, it is just an illusion. And yet, when we step away from these devices of illusion, we awaken to see a world of confusion. We slave to technology we mastered, but we leave out the emotions. And when we do feel happy with the emotions we shared, it is the same; when no one is there? Most of us, when we are alone, we read a book, watch TV, do some exercises, or anything else, just to be relaxed or productive.
But, when you are in public and feel alone, step away from the phone. You don’t need stereo manual or text your contact list; to fill the space or the void. Instead, just talk to another and learn to coexist face to face. Sometimes, we become unsocial and dissatisfied to engage to one another, and to look into someone’s eyes to make the connection.
Shut off your IPad and smart phone and make use of your surrounding, and make the most of it. Just one real connection is all it takes to show you, the difference in being there. Be there in the moment, as he’/she gives you the look that you will remember forever from the first look.
Share and cherish the moments together. This time, you don’t have to tell hundreds of people of what you just have done, because you want to share the moment with just “this one.” The time he/she keeps you up at nights and all you want is rest. You have given all
of your time, and given life some attention. And you are glad; you didn’t waste it, on looking down on some invention. But none of this will happen, if you are too busy looking down; you don’t see the chances you miss.
Don’t waste your life getting caught in the social net, because when the end comes, all you have is regrets. Disconnect from the need to be heard, and go out into the world and leave the distractions behind. Live life, the real way by interacting face to face.
The best feeling in the world, is knowing you actually mean something to someone.
