It's a topic discussed one too many times in the church and religious gathering, but the intended damage to the root cause hasn't been successfully done, at least not.
I was raised in a beautiful home, my parent, mum and dad had beautiful time out to talk and crack jokes. I even had the opportunity of moonlight tales by my grand parent. And bond with my siblings.
We were doing just fine until the Advent of Social media and electronic devices. Yes, according to the famous words of an elite. "THEY'VE PUT A KNIFE INTO THE THINGS THAT HELD US TOGETHER..THE CENTER COULD NO LONGER HOLD..THINGS FELL APART.
The main essence of social media was to unite family distant. It succeeded in doing that, yet It also successfully distanced the family that was close, to the detriment of our physical presence.
I live a dual life, a life where you know me on Social Media and I'm celebrated. But I would want to confess that I do that at the expense of my family and my love ones. I've lost touch with them.
I've gotten me a false sense of boldness, I could talk to every and anyone on social media, I wouldn't dare let a pin drop in a conference, I've used this tool to educate me into imbecility.
I sit with my friends, and I'm so connected with my device that I only respond to them 45seconds after the issue they raised had died.
I sat with my parent, they had some doses of sense to dispense me, I'm afraid to say, I didn't get anything out of it, not because I didn't want to, I just couldn't get it, I was lost in a different world.
I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to communicate with my children. We all would be lost in our phones, such that we would literally become house mates, rather than a family. Then the microcosm of society would have been lost.
It might not make so much sense to you now, not until you've passed your destination, because you were focused soul out on your phone. Then probably the plight of my home would hit you.
All I beg for, is more of those beautiful times we had with our loved ones. It formed some of the values we have. We can't lose it completely.
Think..Pray..Act
