On New Year's Day I wrote a post wishing everyone a happy New Year on my personal Fb page and I noticed after a couple of Days that while over 40 Friends (crazy as it seems with the exception of Blogging buddies and there are 3 I only have People I physically know as Friends) chose "like" literally only 10% actually send a wish back to me. We were supposed to come together and share in each other's Life through this social media engine. Well that engine is going alright....but seemingly in a direction of hap hazard interaction, which is a stark contradiction to the fact that Chiropractor surely have come to love, this ever growing craze of bending over with extensive Index finger activity. 

Why do People bother when the most they can muster is hitting "like". Maybe there is so much liking to do, one has not got time to stop and actually "say" something. Imagine one says hello passing you on the road and you would just nod and keep on walking. Yikes....it would not go over so well. 

Imagine if Friends remembered the "Contact" part of the phone....the one that houses all the phone numbers, and crazier yet to choose one and make a call. How crazy would that be?! Hearing the voice, picking up on how one really feels, talking in complete sentences....what has happened to the World we live in? We had done it before, why have we stopped? Our own Life is worth living to the fullest. When did that happen last? Admittedly I have to say there for a moment I found myself doing this awful thing of watching something on TV and then making a run to declare "what's on my mind". Well it certainly informed everyone about my state of mind! We share however different things with different people and by one for all kind of a thinking we have often better not wrote anything at all. 

I am happy to report I have cured myself of this thought that everyone needed to know what was on my mind in fact. I went back to making my Dreams of owning my little 5 acre corner of the World a reality, checking in with my creative Juices and my Friends are happy that I actually talk to them.

What can we do with this time if no 24 hour scrolling did happen, or if there was an actual conversation and Life was brought back to the People sharing our Life intimately? What about that feeling of utter panic, not enough charge or worse yet, of having left the phone behind while bowling with Friends, hanging out at a Birthday party, going out with the Girls to a Restaurant? We could do without.
