Are You Well Connected?

Technology has supposed to make the world a smaller place. But why so many of us are suffering from the feeling of isolation?

It is ironic that with the advancement of communication like the internet and SMS people seem to have grown more detached from each other. Many have chosen to talk to people though a monitor than in person. We have gotten connected to the internet but disconnected with our fellow men.

We rather read the message than hear the message.

I guess that is why we live in such a lonely world. We have given up a part of our humanity, which is that we are all connected. We are all social beings. No man is an island.

We choose the fastest way to communicate and so loosing the beauty of casual conversations. We can never appreciate the person we are talking to looking at a monitor. We miss the little things and actions a person does when one talks. One could not appreciate a person’s smile and laughter with a smiley face icon.

A lot of things get lost in the cable lines, like our identity and beauty.

The most beautiful of all creation is man. And he/she can only be fully appreciated up close and personal. There is nothing more beautiful than the human experience.

We must learn to give time and talk to others. Words of encouragement can help a person going through a hardship. An act of love can lift a person’s spirit. A simple smile can brighten up someone’s day

We must once again connect ourselves to humanity if we want to find life’s meaning. Our life does not exist in isolation but it is intertwined with the life of others.
