Hello Friends, |
|---|
Imagine being admitted to the hospital for having ulcer, because you forgot to eat, given the fact that your phone kept you busy. And on getting to the hospital, you are still looking for a bed that is closed to a socket, where you can easily charge your phone and continue operating it馃檰. My friend, indeed you are not well, at least mentally.
Have you ever wondered why our forefathers were much more stronger than us, and why they lived longer than the people of this generation? Legend has it that they ate more natural foods and they engaged in various activities physically.
Most of the challenges we face today, from poor communication skills, to depression, and even poor libido, it was observed that the fathers of old rarely experienced them.
The innovation of phones and social media came with some few disadvantages, some of which includes *addictions, laziness, anxiety and many more common attributes affecting the average youth of today.
It's very obvious that both the Gen-Z's and the Genz- Alpha's do not even realize how difficult their lives have become when compared to that of the older generations.
The Gen-z's tend to feel like this world is too slow for them, so they have created avenues to make everything go quicker. No wonder we now have 'fast food, quick chops, everything quick and fast, lol.'
Unlike the people of old, we are too updated and bombarded with the happenings around us. Although to some extent that is good, but we usually end up being depressed and anxious about things we can't even control.
All am trying to point out here is that phones are great, but they have shown some side effects regardless. The question now is; do I love my phone?
Yes, I do really love my phone, and a day without my phone would not be easy. But **I can't take the risk of choosing my phone over food for 1 whole day, like 24 hours or more, it's a no no for me.
Some few years ago, I was very obsessed with my phone. Infact, I started using phones when I was still around 12 years of age. It even became worst when social media platforms began making waves.
I would be on Facebook for a whole day, chatting with different girls and feeling like I had made it in life. Sometimes I would sleep and wake up on my phone, but I never relented.
My mum would usually seize my phone whenever I made her angry because she knew that was my life at that time. It was really that bad, but I learned my lesson the hard way, as depression crept in and dealt with me, lol.
It was in the later part of my life, that I learned to control and give less value to my phone. I then discovered that life can be more peaceful than I imagined. Now, I would rather prefer to eat well, than to buy data for my phone, stop playing 馃槄.
The day I realized I wasn't so obsessed with my phone was the day it feel from my hands on the boat into the river. At first I was like, 'where would I start from?馃檰' but after some hours of worrying, I went home without my phone, and I still ate before I slept.
Conclusively, I would commend that phones are important assets, especially for a generation that is evolving very fast in technological innovations, but never make the mistake of assuming food is less important than your phone, even for a day.
Food is usually regarded as life, and it is one of the reasons we would grow up properly. Even if I wasn't a foodie, I would still choose food over my phone every single day.
