Relationships were once tied to the heart, today networks are connected to notifications. Times have changed, technology has changed — and the saddest thing is that feelings have also changed. Where love was once understood with a wink, now the means of expressing one’s feelings by sending emojis has become widespread, but the impact and feeling have left no place.
Trusted Relationships are no longer Permanent
Today, people are not trusted as they used to be. Relationships are no longer permanent, they have become choices — when something good comes along, the old one is ‘unfollowed’. Love has gone digital. The love that once touched the soul is now lost in the glow of the screen. ‘I love you’ is written in the chatbox, but it is less from the heart, more from habit.
Grief is now recorded in statuses, not in the heart. “Feeling broken”, “Don’t text”, or just a black screen – these are the signals of an inner wound that no one wants to hear.
Real Face are now filtered
People no longer read the story behind the face, they are only attracted to the filter. The human soul, its passion, its struggles – everything has now become an ‘overshadow’ of physical attraction. The biggest irony is that in the age of connectivity, we are the most isolated. Even among thousands of friends, we feel lonely. We ‘Seen’ and ‘Typing’… are determining the future of relationships. It has been read, but has it really been understood? This question is no longer asked.
Today, everyone seems to be smiling, but inside they are broken. People say — “Look happy”, but no one asks — “Are you really happy?” “
We have covered our pain with beautiful words, . We have shown the world our reality by decorating it with ‘posts’.
The warmth of relationships now feels less than a notification like “battery low”. Humans are now connected with the body, not the soul. When earlier people used to read the truth in each other’s eyes, now they find life in the “connection” part.
So the question is not how much technology has connected us — but did we keep the humanity alive in those relationships?
Relationships can still be built today, but truth, sweetness and depth are needed as before.
May be we need to learn again — how to connect with anyone other than the internet.
