Real World Over Virtual World




     I want to address an issue that has been plaguing our society for the past decade. It's our misuse and addiction to technology. The tools that were supposed to enhance our lives have now enslaved us with constant distractions. Let be clear technology is a great thing when utilized in the manner it was intended. We need to use technology and not let it use us. 

    Today so many people are living their lives vicariously through others albeit social media or YouTube. This is very problematic in our youth who would rather watch a video than actually participate in the actual activity. So much precious time being wasted as a spectator to other people's "highlight" reel.  Participating on these platforms isn't wrong but needs to be put into perspective. We should be spending the majority of our time living life and fostering our relationships. That is what brings us the deepest fulfillment in life.

    We need to focus our efforts at playing this game of life at our highest level because we aren't going to make it out alive. Quite torturing yourself with comparison and create a life that's a masterpiece that will be an inspiration to others. The virtual world can provide an escape while the real world can provide ecstasy; the choice is yours...
