SOLITUDE
It is only when you realise the beauty of solitude, you are ready to give up on
any distraction that invades your “Peace of Mind”. Once we realise the
potential magical power of staying contented in silence and isolation, we are
no longer in need of human interactions. When this desire of staying alone by
yourself becomes a longstanding obsession it yields in the form of bitter
loneliness and fear.
Unfortunately we ourselves carry in our pockets the secret vault to the
unlimited world, we hold in our palm the road to Infinity without having a
compass to guide us. The social media platform “Facebooks” boasts of
having 2.8 billion active users connecting people throughout the world. But
are the people really connected? We as humans are captivated by our
mobile phones in countless ways. Instances occur when people pick up their
mobile phones unconsciously and forget the task they were supposed to do
in the first place. People do not even realise what they are negotiating by
indulging in various activities on their mobile phones, completely
mesmerised by the never ending contents that eat up all of their valuable
time.
Friends relatives and even family members are strangers in this digital age,
people are so much absorbed by the contents on their mobile phone that
they cannot stand being nudged or disturbed while watching a YouTube
video or as a matter of fact, anything present on that “technological Satan”.
An escape from the real world might be delightful, but it is fatal. Solitude is
good to a particular extent. When it crosses the threshold, it becomes a
problem,breaking delicate bonds between loved ones
