Horror of the 21st century
It's unbelievably tiring as it is being a child in modern day-21st century.
As children and individual students, we are pressured to do almost anything. Our textbooks have become enormous, becoming thicker and thicker with more recent publishing, updating or increasing the amount of information already deviously kept within the pages to laugh at our faces of horror when we open them in search of a single thread of required information through over hundreds of print with a lesser than 8 font. Oh mercy for our eyes. It's no wonder that atleast 65% of our children wear glasses/spectacles.
Don't blame the genes. Blame the font and habits. Who asked for television to contain such entertaining shows that just keep our eyes glued too it? Never wavering, as once we do, we might simply miss just a single miniscule part of our favourite television series.
Why are children addicted to such objects now known today as 'technology'?
Well... let's just say that 'wasn't that what you wanted'?
Such a good cause. Such a good purpose that causes the minds of children to delve in fantasy. A fantasy that can never become reality; where children come to believe that humans can fly just like birds, love always happens in an instant and that 'technology' can make us escape from everything.
Most children, mostly teenagers, have yet to realize that the more 'hooked' they are to 'technology', the slightly bit more they are missing out in real life.
Alas, this is just one of the many problems children experience in nowadays life.
It can't be helped that the couple of generations before us had a bunch of geniuses who created this load of innovations that eventually blows most of our ordinary minds away; thereby, taking us away from the real world and into a place where just watching movies, brushing our fingers on our iPods is all it takes to get something done.
Without that much more heavy pressure by parents and relative for us to be ripped away from our so-called 'addiction', there are the academics and shallow eyes of peers that hide just by the distant corner.
"You're not on facebook? No way. I LIVE on facebook. Facebook is my LIFE," says one.
Thenormal teenage reply would be, "Of course I do! I get on it all the time! Come on. Everything else is sooo boring."
All I can say to that is its all a bunch of ludicrousness.
In order for you to have a life, you need to be living. And being online 24 hours 7 days a week definitely does not mean your living. Internet is not life. Facebook-ing is not life and most of all technology is not life.
Why exactly do you think as students, we are put through the task of talking to teachers or maybe councellors atleast once in our lifetime? Why? Because their concerned about how you LIVE.
Life is not what you have to do in order to make people like you. It's what you do that you are entirely aware of as an achievement. Something you've done that is worthwhile and how you've been satisfied doing it. Live is when you get up, cheer, and give a smile; accepting and appreciating what you have each day.
This is the reason why THEY live. The people that just believe in just living. Life was given for living and is appreciated for the fact. Maybe this is the reason why upon our creation, God called us, "good."
So let's all be good. Live our lives and love ourselves.
