When You Realize Many Missing Moments

How often do you look around and talk to other people while waiting? Or are you too used to using cellphones and various electronic devices as a time-filling tool?

Many precious opportunities can slip from your life when you choose to be dragged through life on the screen in your hands.

Your life looks hectic

How many friends do you have on various social networks and messengers? 100,500, or even thousands? How often do you interact with them?

But you still often feel lonely

It doesn't matter how many friends you have on your social network, it doesn't matter how often you greet each other — but in real life you often feel alone and have no one.

The question is, how often do you look someone in the eye and take the time to talk?

Your interactions with those closest to you are often limited to greeting your fingers on a digital screen. You feel that you have accompanied them when you just said hello via social networking sites or groups on messenger.

While you stay busy with the screen in front of you

Real life slowly walks away leaving you behind

As modern humans, we are often absorbed in the hectic life on the internet. Feeling that by being an active part in it, we will become individuals who are not out of date. We absorb whatever is in front of us. Busy commenting, busy wanting to appear. Until you forget to pay attention to the people around you.

One day you will look back and regret what you did

At some point, you finally realise. That your efforts to always appear, whether or not you exist in cyberspace will be meaningless.

When you prefer to close the bedroom door

You are more often immersed in the busyness of replying to messages on the internet, rather than taking the time to chat with your family.

Drowning in the digital crowd alone, leaving him lonely

Let your partner feel unheard. Replace your presence by sending cute pictures and emoticons. Feeling that by doing so, you have devoted yourself enough.

Ignoring the warmth of friendship

Gathering together is no longer a priority. As long as you are still actively greeting on the messenger application, then your friendship is still considered fine. Even without eye contact and a warm touch inside.

Not realizing that looking into his eyes for a long time is a luxury

Your attention is absorbed by the crowd at your fingertips. When was the last time you looked at her to be able to memorize the color of her beautiful eyes?

Sorry, why don't you tease her more often until her face is red with anger?

You will be willing to trade anything for the sake of seeing his cute face when holding back annoyance. You want to go back to a time where he could be the object of your prank without a break.

Choose to reply to the mention instead of giving him a surprise

Because by putting his name in your twitter account bio, you feel that you have shown that you really love him.

Start using the word "if". If only you shared that moment with him, without having to share it on the timeline

You regret sharing some very private moments to your timeline. You no longer have memories that only the two of you know.

If you could, you would choose to never let go of his hand.

Ignore the greatest phones and tablets out there.

Because when he doesn't come back

You will be willing to pawn anything, so that only your screen turns off. He's not the most important

This article was inspired by a video by Gary Turk, a British writer and director. In the video, he conveys his satire against the current generation who prefer to spend a lot of their time in cyberspace, and forget about the life that is happening around them.

Gary said that in fact we are being enslaved by technology that we created ourselves, until we forget how to coexist with other humans.

Shouldn't the digital optics in front of us just be a communication facility? Not to shape us into creatures who think that greeting each other and exchanging smiles is not appropriate anymore.

The noise on social media makes us often forget what is happening around us. Even though there are many extraordinary things that can happen in life if you just want to take a little time to live outside virtual life.
