Fake Virtual World

There comes a point in your life, basically in your early twenties, when you start to look too much into future. You have all these ideas about how you want your life to be and who you want to be, This is why this time comes to be the hardest as it requires you to change or move away from your comfort zone. It is when you start listening to yourself more than you ever did. It is this time when friends start being less important and life starts being more.

You look for your role models and start learning from what they did and what they did not. You create your own ways. Some choose to talk about it loud and some choose to plan everything on a personal ground before reaching out. But while you are figuring out what you actually desire, the exposure of what other's are doing influences you more. One starts doubting their very own ideas and prefer working on what others have been.

In the middle of the maddening crowd and people earning money to have the best of everything, different safety modes like "yoga" and "meditation" exist to help you relax. Facebook came up to show the best in your life and Twitter came to show the worst of your life and the reality, the life remains stuck in the middle. You are often confused if the number of likes should make you happy about your enthusiasm or number of retweets make you realize that everyone else in the world can also relate to how you feel.

We don't live in one world anymore. There is one real world and the rest are million lies and we think we know how everyone's been doing when we scroll through the timelines, but that isn't always the case. Honestly, it is time people stop surfing social media, in order to look for role models but rather focus on making themselves one with their own opinions and ideas.

When I was young, Oh, when I was young... Everything was so much fun. Had no dreams, had no pun, but oh, it was so much fun. The hugs from mama, learning skates, learning to ride a bicycle and the dance with papa. The fights with di and the games too.. Telling on her to mom and dad, and the midnight stories too.. No cellphone, no wifi, Even the cable was out, Had a playground, had a school, and there was plenty happiness, no doubt There were friends, who brought plenty smiles Them, I still dream of, After the closing of blinds... And now, Oh its still good,, With the new world around.. but the old days, I will always miss their sound.

That Overused Term.

Ever think of love? What are the chances that a person could fall in love madly and deeply, to the extent that it consumes them? 10 times? Or maybe only once? They say those who do not seek it, those who do not fight for it, might not even find it. They may spend their entire lives, either hung over someone who they loved and lost, or settle for someone they do not even love. Under societal pressures or because of their own loneliness? But people have felt that emotion throughout history. Some find it in separation, which is also known to be the strongest of all the loves that exist. The dire need to look at someone and feel alive. The missing that is so powerful that it overtakes your mind and body. In the times of quarantine, the strings of your own heart can very well be understood. It is all peaceful out and there is a certain deafening silence. It could make you hear your soul, for you have nowhere to escape. Immerse yourself in books and movies as much as you want, but

Being a Slave to AI?

 Last night I was binge watching Netflix, because I have my accounting exam. Who wants to study that, eh? In the middle of the two idiotic rom-coms, I also saw a documentary "The Social Dilemma".   When you find it on your Netflix feed, by the name itself you shall think, "Oh! It is going to tell us how internet is scary and etc etc.," and you'll continue to scroll the feed to watch something else. Why? Because YOU cannot face the truth, that the SOCIAL PLATFORMS where you want to spend so much time on, are actually owning you? Artificial Intelligence, isn't just about the robots killing people in the future. It is in the NOW. It is running your lives. The people who themselves were a part of the platforms, like Tristan Harris - share the scary impact that social media has on the people around you. For example, take the rumors spread on Corona Virus? You think those people were not manipulated on believing that? No one is that stupid. It's the AI that ma
