Is social media distracting us? - Sakshi Singh

Social media, a double-edged sword,
It connects us all, yet ties us to strings. 
In virtual worlds, our thoughts are muddled. 
In screens we're lost, our focus blurred.

Pings and constant calls

Distracting us from life's moments, big and small.
Scrolling boundlessly, time slips away.

Likes and comments, we crave them so.
But are they worth the time we hold?
In this online crowd, reflect and find a harmony where you truly belong.

"We people don't look at the things how they are but we look at them how we think". An object or a thing stays how they are! But people look at them from a different perspective. 

Once, a teacher asked two students while showing a picture of a mountain - "What do you see?" The first one said, "It's just a mountain." The other one said, "It's not only a mountain but also a home for the birds that sing and the animals that spend their time playing around." The teacher was surprised to hear about the two different thoughts. 

We humans have the same physical attributes. We all have two hands, two legs, one heart, etc. But the brain, being one, has a different way of functioning. And everyone on this earth has a different mentality. The good thing is that everyone has special knowledge, which will make the future a better place. 

If we look from a positive side, we will see that having diverse dimensions in every person has resulted in the working of our society. Neither every person wants to become a doctor, nor every person wants to become a pilot. 

Therefore, our dimensions have led to the development of our economy and society. Our different thoughts and views are different from each other but not separate. They are inter-connected with each other. 

Finally, it is always a great experience to listen to the other people. And it also helps us to understand the working system differently. We all get different knowledge from different fields of science, art, music, politics, etc.. Interacting with the new people with new thoughts is always a wonderful experience.

When we meet a man or a woman

Or it might be a child,

We jump to see what we can

And assume their lives in a way very mild

We don’t think before we speak

For answers that are bleak.

We draw vague conclusions 

And later create fine lines.

We bombard the space

Without knocking on the door.

And then create a false world

Of our own.

We have to be quick and smart.

But where does the subtle man go?

Does he hide in forever, 

Or wait for us to leave?

Well it is not the man held wrong

But our fault till long.

For it was we who did not see his inner beauty,

And decided to name him ugly.

We did not get it then, 

But maybe we do now.

There are multiple dimensions to every person,

Just wait and read 'how'.
