More Time More Problems

Your day to day problems don't just magically disappear if disregarded. Sadly the same effort put into creating the problem is the same effort that needs to be used to get rid of that problem. Some people may say that they didn't cause or create the problem but honestly how much can people remember every single thing they did. The past is a large amount of time and every second that goes by adds to the past. Any little thing that happened can cause a snowball effect eventually leading to a problem or issue that hurtles into our present delivered by the past. Continuing to move forward with life disregarding that snowball would only make the snowball larger. In order to solve that problem you must think back to the origin of the issue because trying to attack a flake of snow is a lot easier than attacking a gigantic snowball. Maybe in the beginning it is easier to out run our problems when it is a flake of snow. However in time they will catch up to you and when they do it probably would be to large to solve. That's why I beg you my readers, if you have a problem or issue in your life try to solve it the second it comes to your attention. The longer you wait the worse it could get resulting in some internal or even external consequences. Take some time out of your day to really think about the issues in your life and attempt solve them, big or small solving these problems will eventually lead to a better, healthier life.

Friends With A Phone

Have you ever noticed how hanging out with somebody requires almost no in person communication anymore. How most of us as a society allow technology to control communication even when we are right next to the person we are communicating with. The world has become a real cold place and it isn't because of global warming. The change of temperature came from the metal, plastic and glass that binds our friendships together  today. Using technology to stay in touch and document memories is one thing. However, when technology is abused and used as a shoulder to cry on when we need someone; that is a robbery of ones emotions and experiences. What happened to compassion and empathy? We handicapped our true understanding of one another. Where pop-ins at someone's house turned into pop-ups on a Facebook newsfeed. Where I can be closer friends with somebody on the other side of the world than my next door neighbor. How could we hangout with somebody and we are both updating our statuses saying what we are currently doing... Because it raises an undermining question... Are we really doing what we say we are doing at the moment? Enjoying a moment in time that is meaningless until it is documented on social media site. I can sit in a crowded train or sit at the park and still be alone because of the music coming from my phone. Yes technology is useful in maintaining bonds and allowing them to grow over time. But at what cost? It's hard to see in front of you when you are looking at your phone. To my readers, why don't you try going one day a week without using your phone. Talk to somebody face to face rather than texting people. Most of us are victims of this victimless crime. Keeping in touch with people we don't even touch... Society is not heading in the right direction if technology continues to control communication. When love is shown through status and posts of pictures. We need to remember how to share feelings face to face, not how to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Vine and share feelings through technology. This isn't an attack on anybody's life or my friends. Just an outlook on a better more fulfilling life with truer emotions! Bringing more warmth to our hearts and showing a better more fresher way of appreciation to people we adore. Next time you hang out with your friends try not to invite technology.
