Priorities

I hear this too often - 'don't have time'.

This is a generation that has seen a boom in information exchange. We have all sorts of media being streamed in every possible sort of wired and wireless ways. It is not uncommon for me to see my fellow mates deep engrossed in whatever is playing on their device's display screens. No i don't condemn technology. It is just a tool. In the hands of a fool, it is a disaster. Idk why i suddenly get reminded of Trump

On facebook recently i saw a comparison. The upper part of image was a typical metro crowd, everyone looking down on their mobile screens, and the lower part interestingly enough was of a 1987 train, everyone busy reading newspapers. And of course the fact that people believe rape and murder have increased in recent times just because any such event is quickly spread across thanks to the extremely proactive modern media. It is hilarious actually, and as I look around, i can easily see ignorance is bliss. You don't know about the murders, you experience peace in life.

I tend to sometimes look at my brother and experience everything as he experiences, perceive the world as he does, his innocence melts my heart, his questions and the little things he gives so much attention to, the stupid things that fills him with joy and love, and of course the love he has to shower on anybody who gives him a little love first.
So my father, being the man he is, said, 'This new generation, always busy peeping through screens'. This threw me in a never-ending thought loop, which revolved around the question that is it really technology that is destroying at least children today. Idk what i feel about this

We as children have seen the entire cosmos on our screens. From infinite different faces of lifestyles, to various shades of places with various colors of soil. Various shades of humanity, on discovery and on Nat-geo, In documentaries and leaked tapes. Nothing seems new anymore. Nothing seems exiting anymore. That childish fun in exploring and risking our house during fire experiments and our lives during cracker show-offs, all those are gone. Maybe it is just a part of growing us. Maybe the children today are growing us faster. Or maybe not so, what do you think??

Just a random quote here.
