I don’t deny the contribution mobile technology has made to our world.
This platform has opened up more avenues for us than we could imagine.
But in the process, we forget that humans need something else more than knowledge, we need “The Touch.”
We embrace each other more, but we hug each other less.
We interact with each other on digital platforms more than ever, but we hardly talk to each other face to face.
We are gaining a digital footprint in the society but losing our mark in this world.
We want to talk to strangers on various apps but we will ignore the person sitting next to us.
We have forgotten that smile is contagious and you are allowed to spread it.
We have more selfies with our friends but less connection with them.
When was the last time you simply held your best friends hand and felt the comfort of knowing there is someone by your side?
Let’s do that today. Hold your best friends hand, at first, they may be uncomfortable… even you’ll be uncomfortable but let the warmth of your love for them pass through it, and you’ll realise that that touch is what will save us.
So, Hug more, Talk more, Smile more. It is good for your health.
