#A Fanciful Fake Inter-connectedness (!)

Those who are reading my writing now are probably looking at your mobile phones or desktops to stay connected within a virtual world. Staying connected in a virtual world while leaving the real world behind gives a feeling of artificial togetherness. We all feel happy with the imaginary energy that pulls us closer to all. This fanciful fake inter-connectedness is like staying in the Alice’s wonderland; no matter how wondrous the wonderland is, it’s a fake one.

In our childhood, we used to play hide and seek where we loved to disappear because we knew we would be found again. Today, we are disappearing in another wonderful world, knowing that there is none to find us again.

We all tend to stay with people far from us but not live with people who are sitting next to us. Staying with so many people and living with none can never make our life lively. Instead, it makes us fly in the sky of loneliness. We need to live with few to stay with many. Our limited ability confines us overlooking the obvious when we look at too many things or talk to too many people.

Forgetting to live a lively life cannot make other lives lively no matter how long we stay with them. We started staying with our family sacrificing living with them. Ultimately, life evaporates leaving some dried up skeleton behind.

The sky of the virtual world has numerous stars. They not only twinkle but also fascinate us to stay with them, separating us from our real oxygenated world. The internet has a magical ability to keep us in a world with no disparity. It can exhibit any content to anybody which is against the system of our schooling, society and family. The food which is digestible for the adult might be poison for the infants. My mother used to select foods for me since my birth and still I depend on it with trust. Some foods attracted me and I insisted but she was never convinced to allow me with those foods. Dear all, what do you think? Has she destroyed my freedom?

Our mobile phones have already replaced our cameras, calendars, calculators, alarm clocks and torches. But let’s not allow it to replace our family!
