These
are the bright and charming side of a happy and meaningful life. But we cannot
expect live always a smooth and even life. We all are destined to face
problems, worries and fears; we all have
our setbacks, our sorrows and misfortunes. They are part of the substance of
living, and none of us can escape them.
But
nowadays what is happening that day-by-day we are becoming accustomed to get
rid of our setbacks and frustrations with the handy and easy tool of mobile and
internet. We always try to find out some solace and sense of relief by engaging
our wandering mind in the most pleasing and transient happiness given by
screentime activities.
We do
not think that these online activities cannot give us the strength to accept
the trials of life and rise superior to them. It will only lead us towards the
downward spiral of unnecessary activities which will only clutter our mind with
negativity. In such circumstances, we have almost forgotten that the great
thing about life is that as long as we live we have the privilege of growing.
We can learn new skills, engage in new kinds of work, devote ourselves to new
causes, make new friends, if only we will exercise a little initiative and
refuse to become involved in the unnecessary activities which will only lead us
towards destruction not creation.
