Technology ruins ROMANCE

Life was more simple and beautiful without technology (no offence). It was much more romantic when couples exchanged letters by post. The excitement and patience were worth waiting for. But now technology ruins it. Everything happens so fast and quick, so does it ends soon.

Meeting as a stranger on social network, asking few questions, getting to know instantly; every stories has lost its beauty. The way of living has become more comfortable but has creating more misunderstandings, quarrel and unnecessary problems.

Few days back when I was returning from my class and on entering my room, I saw my friend shouting over the phone furiously. I was like what really happened to her. I finished changing my clothes but still she hasn’t finished. I jumped onto my bed, put on my laptop and tried to play a slow and soothing song. My friend kept her phone on hold, looked with her big eyes and said, “Will you please put off that song” and carried on. The matter seemed really serious. Few minutes later she came beside me and said, “What do these boys always think of themselves?” I didn’t have a clue what was she really talking about. Then she began from the start and then I came to know she was chatting with her friend which seemed to be a boy that brought the fight with her boyfriend. She continued, “He is just a friend of mine, we were talking the usual, teasing each other reminiscing our old times together.” Now I got the whole story, he r boyfriend must have probably seen the conversation in her phone and picked up the fight.

It’s clearer talking in person. The words or lines we exchange in text messages or chats loses it true meaning once we hit the “send” button. The third person who reads it, interprets through his/her understanding and conclude it in his/her way of thinking. Sometimes things are not the way it seemed to be or the way we think. There are true stories hiding behind than what appears on small screen of phones and computers.

So whoever is reading my writing (which may seem stupid to some) know that misunderstanding, quarrel, fight and problem occurring because of technology are due to the way you think. Sort it out, don’t let these stupid things ruin your best moments. Look, analyze, reflect and react wisely. Cheers….happy life hereafter…….
