WHAT'S LEFT OF US SINCE THE ARRIVAL OF SOCIAL MEDIA?

Some say social media is a necessary evil. Yes, this is true. People are making millions simply by creating contents over the internet while others are slowly deteriorating in the level of their intellectual capacity simply because they spend more time on social media than they do on their actual life. People are not present in their bodies anymore as they used to. Social interaction is hampered by the day. Talking about this is like another stroke to a dead meat. It has been over flogged day in and out. People have become less capable of creative thought in face to face conversations. 

I recently got in a conversation with a stranger simply to see how this has affected me too. I am a lover of social media and I do best in conversations on social media than in real life. You too should take a break off social media and interact with those around you. See what you will learn by doing so.

Social media is not bad. What is really eating into the stem of our society is the wrong use of things. Even drugs are abused when used wrongly (without prescription by a doctor). Even humans are being abused when they neglect the right means to relate. But someone would say, “everyone is meant to live their life the way they please. Yes I agree. Everyone should live their life the best they can. If the life is being lived the way they should, Then there would be no need to talk about this.

Let’s try to engage in real life conversations. I see friends thrive well on social media when talking to a potential friend, but once they come face to face with them, they start to stutter. This is fine. But keep at it until it is no longer an issue for you. Stop looking for yourself in the complements of strangers on social media. It is frustrating to do so. What life is there?

Many NGOs are trying to engage physical humans every day. So there are a lot of ‘hangout’ events being organized across the nation. You don’t necessarily need to go for such events to talk to someone. Some are out of touch in their immediate environment. The grasses have grown into a forest simply because we have given our lives as burnt offerings to our digital devices. Even the people around us have lost touch with us. They no longer know us the way they used to or the way they should.

This blog is about engaging your thoughts about a whole lot of things. Social interactions is thriving across the globe and you are the only one who isn’t contributing to the change. Do something. Engage that neighbor, friend, colleague, or whoever, in a conversation. You don’t know where you will meet that person that will alter your life positively. You may save someone by talking to them. Enjoy a conversation outside the virtual word today.
