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.

In the Lies

There are a thousand ways we imagine things could conspire to be. Yet when the outcome turns to be the one we didn't want, we begin to break down.  We begin to hate the chances taken. We begin to hate the efforts that we put in. We regret.  Sometimes, it is difficult to say that the fate of our lives is in our hands. That we are the master of our world. Maybe we are not, because we try to do our bests yet we can't achieve. What is the purpose then? We ask ourselves, our friends, maybe the higher power. If things aren't meant to roll out the way we expect, what is the point of working on them?  However, there is a way we manage to survive. It's in the lies that we tell others, maybe ourselves too. The truth about lies is, if we say them enough, we start to believe them  ---  "Does it still hurt?" "No"      And unless someone looks into our eyes, we begin to realize all the lies that we have been telling ourselves and once again shred into pieces. F...

Are they People or Snakes?

We have figured it out wrong. Bustling on the roads, sipping our coffees, Smoking cigarettes, partying on weekends, Spending our money on things that don't matter, Like the new shoes, or Maybe the new Dress, The pretty girl with a fake accent is Busy, busy being anxious about her fashion choices, because well, she got it all figured wrong. Yet, she thinks she knows it all, while hidden insecurities, she believes her fake personality is top-notch. So many people in meaningless gibberish Wishing to stay updated with the world facts, to become so opinionated that they can interact about everything that exists, But what are these opinions for by-the-way, If the people you talk to, don't wish to talk to you anyway? And then, come those who wish to align with the world Fight for their society, or the well-being, Such that they are willing to take laws into their own hands, Use their provoking skills to thrash someone in a  mob, who did maybe a wrong. This ...

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...
