BEING HUMAN

WE live in a world of selfies', wireless,smart phones, tablets, facebook, twitter, linkedin away from real interaction. We are in the online world where best friends go to a restaurant and spend the entire time on their smartphones. The sunday dinner tble is now gone where the family sat around the table swapping stories and interating with each other. Instead all are on facebook, snap chat or some other social media interacting with people they never met before. The world has got smaller and smaller with communication at everyones fingertips yet suicide rates are at an all time high particularly for the younger people.

 

We are now facing into uncertain times with the inaugeration of a new president and all the uncertainty this holds for us all. Maybe it's time to go back to the old fashioned human interaction, the kind word, the offer of support, the helping hand to the vulnerable in our society. Maybe its a time to be HUMAN again
