Lately, I have been having thoughts on the nature of the “what’s on your mind” (courtesy face book) and “set your status here” (courtesy orkut) posts/feeds on both the sites & the likes... I kinda go through an enigma when reflecting on the benefits that these posts have on the people reading them... For instance, a post reads – “xxx is bored”; another one reads as “xxx is waiting for the weekend”; and so on and so forth... What does this honestly indicate? Well frank enough, I don’t care if anyone is bored or is waiting for the weekend or to practically know what he/she is doing every second of the hour of a day... to me the time spent on such manias, sums up to the time actually lost on more productive things like the time spent with your family, in an outdoor sport, cooking something for your loved ones & of course, in prayer & quietness. Our mind seems to be occupied & caught up in such useless information... the other day, I came across another post that read “xxx is busy”! Well, then why logged on in the first place? is what I thought to myself! Sigh...!
It makes me to ponder on what exactly is the need to be so connected with one another across the globe 24/7? Looks like we have become an ‘instant’ society...where information is passed in a tick! People have become so self centered that their minds are caught up in such trivial facts... in reality, when our minds are engaged in such concerns, we stop to think creatively... maybe, if we tie up all the time spent on such feeds/posts, on something positive for ourselves & for others, the world would have been a better place to live in...
