Day 16
I tried really hard to let go and have fun. Had plans, but was let down unfortunately at the last minute. Went on to make alternative plans with others, but everyone seems to be super busy and just not bothered. I feel sad, I feel as though people give no value to each other anymore. I felt like there was more connection before the days of 'whats app' and FB etc. Before the days when there were free calls available to all, before all this great new technology, I feel like people made more of an effort to visit each other and made more of an meaningful effort. I miss the days when we wrote letters to each other. When we met up regularly to go shopping or just sit in a coffee shop and chat.
It feels more lonely these days. Why are people more depressed these days? I have read many articles and thoughts from various intellects that essentially explains that whilst technology advances, people social skills is greatly deteriorating. Therefore, people generally becoming 'loners' and falling into depression and anxiety. I do also blame TV. There are all these silly reality shows, entertaining those mindless people who cannot be bothered to feed their brains with things of value. If you give up 1 hour of TV each day, that's 365 hours over 1 year! A new language could be learnt in this time...so many new things can be achieved in this! Time is the only thing we are losing...use it wisely!
