Farther
we connect, closer we lose.
Most of us are familiar with a story of a boy who is in pursuit
of happiness meeting an intellectual king. The story goes with boy asking king
"how can I find unbridled happiness all through my life?" King rather
answering directly gives him a demo. He gives boy a spoon with oil in it and
asks him to see the city. Boy concentrating on spoon and oil in it, doesn't
observe the beauty surrounding him. When boy returns, king asks "what did
you see?" Boy replies, " I didn't see anything as I was concentrating
on oil in spoon". Now king takes back his condition of not spilling oil
and once again asks boy to surround the city. This time boy explains the beauty
of what he saw. But when king asks about oil in spoon, there will be nothing
left in it. Then king with slight smile enlightens boy by saying
"happiness lies around you when you observe it and unite with it, at the
same time protecting what you have"
Similar to the boy who has been given spoon with oil in it, we
got our mobiles and tablets in our hands. Their only strategy is divide and
rule. They have become an appendage to us. We all are succumbed to it and
became blind towards nature's beauty, deaf against its sounds, dumb to express
feelings. We stopped talking with friends in a group, family during dinner,
relatives in functions instead created groups in mobiles and social sites
by common names. This addiction even made us to develop a new psychological
disorders like "Nomophobia" which is fear of being without our
mobile. According to few empirical evidence about 90% of people are suffering
with "phantom vibration syndrome", "ringxiety or
fauxcellarm", hallucinations of vibrations and phone rings. This new
psychological pandemic is slowly spreading without our conscious. In long terms
people with more usage of cell phones may get associated with risk of glioma
(brain tumor) in long term. There isn't enough proof to support the amount of
exposure and length of duration toward mobiles. Cell which we discovered for
our needs is damaging the cells which we have been gifted.
